Hi Martin

Thanks (appologies for not including everything)

XML is 

<message-status-report group-id="40056581" message-id="40378871" 
xmlns="http://webservices.ecircle-ag.com/ecm" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
	<subject>demo1</subject>
  	<send-date>2006-01-23T12:21:45Z</send-date>
	<user-tracking until="2007-02-01T08:50:02Z" since="2005-12-31T23:00:00Z">
		<details>
			<reader>
				<email>test2@c...</email> 
  				<timestamp>2006-01-23T14:57:07Z</timestamp> 
			</reader>
			<reader>
				<email>test1@c...</email> 
  				<timestamp>2006-01-23T12:22:08Z</timestamp> 
 			</reader>
		</details>
  		<number>2</number> 
  		<percentage>66</percentage> 
  	</user-tracking>
	<status>sent</status>
</message-status-report>



So I think the namespaces are attributes of the element 
<message-status-report >, is that correct?
