Noel...how does this work. I have sent myself testing e-mails just recently
(and many times in the past) and I have never seen any advertising in the
e-mail I receive. I am using NAV 2004. I guess I should shut if off
anyway, along with the incoming like you say, although I always thought it
was a little extra safe to check the incoming (even though autoprotect will
pick anything up like you said)...Pete
