Shoot... I didn't even test that on my server, and I didn't even read your
message (fully)...  I think it is just about time to wake up and smell the
coffee!

	Thanks for the quick response!

	Unfortunately the domain information on the first page near the
bottom is

the
	virtual domain name. It still shows up as the real host name on the
TO
	line.
