I will no longer be approving any advisories with little or no content that point you to some other place for information. I understand that the folks following this route wish to be able to maintain control of the information the user sees to make sure its up to date, but this format is negative in many other ways. Putting the content inline means that people that can get immediate access to the web can still obtain the information. It means people are dependent on a single point of failure for the information. It means the information won't be archived in the list archives. Etc. You are welcome to put links to other places were users may obtain the builtin in your messages, but the message itself must contain information. -- Elias Levy SecurityFocus.com http://www.securityfocus.com/ Si vis pacem, para bellum
