That's funny. I don't like the high number of spam messages I receive from the lists. Does that mean I am wrong by thinking that we should not add a footer to every message? > Placing a footer in list traffic is a compromise between modifying > messages as little as possible and trying to help people find a way > to get their questions answered. A bad compromise, I would say. The footer is harmful for a number of reasons (for example, it ends up being quoted over and over again in some threads, and we already have RFC-compliant headers for that). Those who know how to unsubscribe should not pay the price for those who don't know. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
