However, it didn't quite work out in time and email was left to a separate application, so the only thing that WebCat gets from the email prefs stored in the WebCatalog Prefs file is the EMail folder (i.e. where to stick the email from a [sendmail] context). Right now the Admin interface is just using [writefile] to put this same information in the EmailerPrefs file, but eventually the email functions will be rolled into WebCatalog itself, and the need for the second prefs file (and separate application) will disappear.Hope this clears things up,Marc Eagle StarNine Technologies http://www.smithmicro.com/
