Sorry folks - I forwarded an article from this group to my wife that's relevant to her work, and it appears to have been sent to the people in the To: line contained in the article body rather than in the address I asked to send it to. This is almost certainly because I'm beta-testing a new local version of snews (a DOS newsreader) and I think I've just found its first major bug :-( Sincere apologies and I'll be *much* more careful in future what I do with this version of the newsreader. Meanwhile, excuse me while I step next door and beat up a certain programmer :-) Graham
