I'm OK with calling SPAM email "SPAM" since Spam the food is traif and to be avoided (well, by some of anyway). It's just the non-spam email being called "ham" that those of us with dietary restrictions object to. Some suggestions: "kosher" (already made by some), "pastrami"[1].
We can't forget about Muslims, who don't eat pork either, but have a different word than "kosher" ("hallel" is how I think it's spelled, accent on the last syllable). Vegetarians might be offended by any meat reference for non-spam email. :-) In the end, it might be better to come up with a word that wasn't a food reference at all and more accurately contrasted the nature of SPAM email. So how about "SPAM" and "Legitimate" (could be shortened to "legit") -- Dave Williss ------ Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with catsup [1] By the way, for really good pastrami, try Barney Greengrass' deli in midtown Manhattan, New York City. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kayne Kruse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 12:31 PM Subject: Re: [Mimedefang] Add Hebrew Support > On Thursday 17 June 2004 10:47 am, Kevin A.
