Ah, thanks for the enlightenment Johannes.  I knew of the "copyrighted"
portion of message properties.  I was basing my comments on a statement made
by either Alan Kong or NewsAdmin about these messages not being distributed
out to Usenet and thought I remembered that being the only real limitation.
Of course my own opinion was just that, an opinion.
I have a quote from a message at a newsgroup (c.g.r.r.?) of David K. Buck on
one of my web pages, don't recall the details of when and where I got it.
Thanks for the url, it's informative reading.
Wonder if Ken has seen the web page on URL linking yet.  You know how he
likes direct addresses to pages and files  ; )
