From that day forward I started getting spam - lots of it. Despite what others say about spam being inevitable. It is possible (with a little luck) to have email addresses over a period of years and never get spam.<br /><br />Anyway, I've checked out this thread on the SC-LUG archives and the email addresses are indeed masked. <br /><br />Regards,<br />Richard<br /><br /><br /></font>
