Hi Bill, I'm very sorry, but I have to use Lotus Notes here for my mail, which our Corporate IT doesn't seem to be able to configure to simply get '>' quoted mail reply to work. So, sorry for my posting style. I'd love to have it the way you want it...
Regarding the OOO replies - I tried it out, with the 4 I got, when I posted to the list this morning. I didn't get additional OOO replies. This is because normal OOO replyers only reply once to each sender.

I appreciate your support, but not your posting etiquette. You top-posted and didn't remove extraneous text/sig - not to mention those big header boxes you added. As far as sending a nasty email back to the OOO'r, we'll just get another OOO message back - so that's a waste of time unless we set the reply-to to /dev/nul or some such (maybe we can set the reply-to to the posters email address and see if we can put him in a loop ;). PS: Not sure why I used OOF instead of OOO - I think OOO is more correct. -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (My Perl/Lakers stuff) _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
