Well, you know... no. I've seen the mail generated when you fill in the webform, and choose CRYPT-PW. The CGI script encrypts the cleartext password, and that's what's in the field in the email when it's mailed to you for forwarding. Whether they intend for you to cut it out and save it for future mailings or what I've never been sure... Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
