That's all well and good if it is webmail or on a webpage, in email clients like Outlook you won't see anything when you mouse over a link.

OK, now I see what you are saying. Funny but in my other computer I couldn't see nothing in the bottom bar.

Thanks.

Yes, that is true, but you can right click on an HTML encodede e-mail and select "View Source" and you can see if the link is redirected.

My company charges $145 an hour for me... you owe me a couple free snakes!

Seriously though, always glad to help out... a little knowledge is very empowering when it comes to the Internet...

Tom,

You did a fine job! That's why I already sent an -echeck for 10 hours worth of your time to the link you provided. From what I learned in the last few hours I assumed that was the right way to do it.

Regards.

Same here, I'll take BPs or Corns. I only wish I got a better percentage of what I am whored out at.

You and me both... someone's smiling on the way to the bank, and it isn't me. Well, I can't exactly complain, but it's peanuts compared to the rate they charge, no doubt...
