huh, in my experience (provider already does a pretty good job onto SPAM filtering) those bastards often don't even get their character coding right. Note, quite often some hacked junk in spite of a regular MUA is used to send out SPAM -- therefore filtering against char sets IMHO is not an appropriate measure. btw, in the above context, "bastards" in no way relates to ethnic groups -- it is simply my personal term for people who better didn't ever have seen light of day. -- Thomas Schierle, Munich, Germany PGP key [DSS/DH] 0xA23CDA1D available at various public key servers -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
