'nobody' is correct. 'never' is deprecated but still observed by many MUAs. from the draft of Mail-Copies-To posted to the usenet-format list on 6 Nov 2000 (Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>): 6. Optional Headers 6.1. Mail-Copies-To The Mail-Copies-To header indicates whether or not the poster wishes to have followups to an article emailed in addition to being posted to Netnews and, if so, establishes the address to which they should be sent. The content syntax makes use of syntax defined in [MESSFOR], but subject to the revised definition of local-part given in section 5.2. Mail-Copies-To-content = copy-addr / "nobody" / "poster" copy-addr = mailbox The keyword "nobody" indicates that the author does not wish copies of any followup postings to be emailed. The keyword "poster" indicates that the author wishes a copy of any followup postings to be emailed to him. Otherwise, this header contains a copy-addr to which the author wishes a copy of any followup postings to be sent. NOTE: Some existing practice uses the keyword "never" in place of "nobody" and "always" in place of "poster". These usages are deprecated, but followup agents MAY observe them. craig -- craig sanders
