Thanks. I appreciate the reminder. The methodology is long standing and should be altered. The users have only the tools offered to them. However, not trying to be argumentative at all - While I agree Bcc is correct, I am having difficulty accepting, logically, not in fact, that the forwarded message should fail. After all, it is actually addressed to only one person. By analogy, would UPS or FedEx be correct to refuse a shipment as overweight if it consisted of an envelope empty except for a sticky note that had 500 Lbs. written on it? If the answer is: "RFC says", I would feel the same, but have to shut up and sit down. I should let it go, on this list at least. joe a.
