Some people have names with have an umlaut in them -- like Bjo:rn. They stick colons into their names to indicate this. It freaks out certain mailers that we all know. I think that the mailers should be changed -- though this is another ``locking the barn door after the horse has escaped'' problem. Laura Creighton utzoo!laura
