I don't believe IIS honours it at all and Windows ports of the Unix developed servers are likely to drop the initial dot. Incidentally, it is important to understand that Unix is extensively used for web servers as it is case sensitive and doesn't use \ as a filename component delimiter. Quite a few web sites have broken because people have confused case or misused \ (the latter compounded by some Windows browsers attempting repair). -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
