it is normally be to reply to your own thread so you dont keep making a new thread everytime, but you can always do <br><br>something like<br><br>Dim something as TextStream<br>Dim fs as new FilesystemObject<br><br>something = fs.OpenTextFile(filename, forwriting)<br><br>for j = 1 to UBound(yourmessage)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;something.writeline yourmessage(j)<br>next<br>(however you want to loop your message)<br><br>then when it comes to file, write line for the appropiate information<br>then end the line like it does in the message source, and start reading the file byte by byte and use<br>Something.write(...) to write a single byte to the textstream(I belive you can write multiple bytes at a time but I forget)<br>then end it off with the usual lines like it does in the EMail , this is my guess, might work, might not,but I assume it wraps text around the actual file then the client just decodes it out of the file. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=
