IMO, if a mailer uses a packet       password as the session password too, it must have powers like those       of 'the Great Carmack' and can know what the password is before attempting       to unpak it.               R\%/itt               Fox News was not used as a source for information in this message!              --- Twit(t) Filter v2.1 (C) 2000-10        * Origin: SATX Alamo Area Net * South * Texas, USA * (1:387/22)    |
