texte = Kenneth, thanks for the info. I tried this... [getmimeheader name=host&exact=f] and it did not work with IE 4.5 Mac OS. I switched back to [getmimeheader host] and it worked immediately. Each case I used a new browser session to avoid any weird IE cache issue. I haven't tried your version in any other OS/browser combination, but I did test the simpler version in PC/IE5, PC/NN6, Mac/IE4.5, Mac/IE5, Mac/NN4.7 and Mac/AOL5 and it worked fine in these combinations. Any thoughts?
