Thanks, Mark. I hadn't thought of the "from:" being embedded in the
Subject: header. And your RE correction makes perfect sense once I
see it. ;-)
I'm pretty sure I don't have access to 'mm.config.[anything]' so I
assume it's the default value. Odds are, it was my imperfect RE that
was keeping if from tripping.
Thanks All,
