The thought never crossed my mind. Now that I re-read the mail,
that looks like a very possible solution.

Ok, great. Sorry for my possible over-reaction, but they
complained to my ISP, and that upset me greatly because I take
these issues very seriously, and am very netiquette aware, and
anti-spam.

matter. I'm glad to see someone responsible and clear minded is
running these lists.
Take care David,
