Hi Don, When I used to post as well as write PSP tutorials for a group that I helped moderate, I used this email link code for each lesson, so that I would know which tutorial they needed help with at the time. Saved me a lot of grief. But I don't recall ever being able to put text in the body of the message. However...my rememberer is frequently on the fritz while my forgetter works really well! He-heh. Glad to be able to help a little bit, Sammi Don101 wrote: > Actually it worked!
