Like I said before, mails sent through Outlook express pass and don't
need those overhead at all!
So i have no time to test now but analyzing some outlook express sent

Two questions: the file should be filled with about 450/500 of this line

X-Hotmail-Fodder:
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ??

And what is
phx.gbl?

thank you very much for this
