Avoiding the SPAM (was: Cygwin - KDE).

[kevin.lawton]

Thanks for your reply, David, looking forward to an interesting weekend checking it 
all out. 
Sorry to add extra traffic to the list, but I feel I have to point out: 
When you replied to me, you (or your e-mail client) echoed my e-mail address (and 
yours, and that of the mailing list) back in the message in plain text. This is the 
'staff of life' for spam harvesters !  Any spammer lurking on the list will now have a 
couple more e-mail addresses to sell to the advertisers and porn-mongers of this 
world. Aaarrgh ! 
Please try to avoid returning e-mail addresses as text in the messages - probably best 
to 'munger' your address or snip out the server part. Some e-mail clients can be set 
to do this for you. At the very least, replace the '@' with something less obvious. 
Please - I'm not trying to 'dictate terms' - hey, I've only just joined this list - 
but I would like to hope that everyone takes my point on board. These days, people are 
losing their jobs for receiving 'dodgy' e-mail adverts at work. 
Kevin.

 I have heard rumour that it is possible to run the KDE 
 desktop under Cygwin and wondered if anyone had any knowledge 
 of this - experience or just a pointer to some details. Any 
 help would be much appreciated. 
 TIA

 P.S.: Please feel free to reply to me personally if you 
 don't want to clutter the list up with traffic like this -

 kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net has all the details you need. it 
 works great. 
 they have a mailing list if you need any more help.
 replying to the list so everyone else knows they don't need 
 to mail you.

Hi Kevin

Sorry about that. If you set your mail client to show your name in the 
From address, it will usually get quoted using the name rather than the 
address
