I'm obviously being especially dense right now but to me this seems like the worst of both worlds. A sender creates a message with some parts targeted at intermediary processors en-route and has no way of specifying that route... I don't get it... I can see how a sender could target parts of the message at different software modules at the ultimate destination of the message because the sender gets to say 'send this message to that destination over there'. I just can't see how the sender gets to target parts of the message at software modules at an intermediary if it has no control over which intermediary nodes the message goes via. Please, please, please help me see what I am missing... Yours desperately, Gudge
