Umm, Randall, I think you've missed the point of my post. I claimed that people should not be blamed for something they have no control over, and suggested a means of giving them the control. It *must* require cooperation from the sender. Should they choose to ignore this control, they'll deserve every ounce of abuse they get. Please do not deprive the members of this list from the opportunity to be rightfully mean! ;-)
Perhaps when (and if) this is implemented, it could be added to the FAQ, so people won't be able to (validly) complain that this is not documented anywhere. Then, along with the abuse, we could point them to the FAQ. :-) Igor On Mon, 3 Mar 2003, Randall R Schulz wrote: > Chris, > > Clearly this is now an open topic, so... > > Do you have a good way to do this?
