Thanks that really helps and gives me the behaviour I want (no junky frontpage stuff).

So my guess is that you sniffed the packets between either Exchange and IE, or IIS 5.0 and IE. --Imran --- Max Rible <max@glyphica.com> wrote: > At 08:23 3/25/99 -0800, Imran Khan wrote: > >Hi Folks, > >Since some of you have done IE5 interoperability > testing successfully I > >was wondering if you could help me out.
