Karl, I think we provide a webform link for that - so if someone wants to reach the original author - the form takes the message - and then uses that XML flatfile cheatsheet of the # -> email conversion to send it for them. That way no mailbox address is ever exposed - and you can force a manual emailing process to send people comments. DW. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karl F.
