Dear Clement, thank you for the quick answer. I understand there are good reasons for not including posted data in the subject. But: In this strange URL, the part "&/petition/result.txt" does not belong to the data section, which is given to www4mail as name=value lines, but to the URL itself, as you can tell from the fact that it appears in the POST action string, which I should have cited instead of the above: XFORM= form method POST action "http://amnesty-caribbean.org/cgi-local/textout.pl/petition/format.txt&/petition/result.txt" Best regards, Dietmar
