Please folks, BE CAREFULL when firing off those "remove" attempts.

  I have understanding that M$ email "clients" have their own ideas of
  what is necessary to show to the user, and they hide everything of real
  significance.  I have also been told that some magic incantation can
  get all headers to appear -- but don't ask me what that is.

  A careless "reply" MAY get to wrong place -- like now that this
  list adds that damn  Reply-To:  header to every posting...
  ( http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html )

  I help running large Linux lists at vger.kernel.org, and there we
  filter message CONTENT, not merely headers -- this message would
  be blocked there even when quoted like this.
  (Trap by detecting "This is not a SPAM" string - any case.)

  We also, absolutely, forbid sending email with TEXT/HTML type
  content/components.  (That alone blocks 2/3's of spams..)

  Lately the amount of spam getting thru those vger lists has gotten
  really low...  We have only about a dozen RE patterns for traps.
