Hi
     Thanks for all the replies, I should infrom you though, that the
OP is a hoaxer and is spoofing my ID, I never post using Microsoft
CDO (whatever that is).
The set-up he describes is probably actually his own set-up and he
appear to be using it to make me appear as dumb as he is.
Still I guess it is fairly harmless and better than him amusing his small
mind
by making hoax calls to the local emergency services.
