I don't get it. I simply don't understand -- why do you want to reply to the spam in the first place, with or without the same subject??? My ISP does a good job at filtering the spam from this newsgroup. If yours does not, I feel your pain, but rather than replying to the spam and changing the subject, how about if you just don't reply at all? -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
