This is a good example of stifling creativity or at least a personal style. One could criticise you for your subjective assessment of perfectly good subject lines, sentence length, use of words such as 'properer' and 'maillist', mis-use of a semi-colon, starting a sentence with 'And', the use of contractions in written English, and a split infinitive. Pot. Kettle. i am sure jim may ignore the shift key and punctuation for a good reason no meaning is lost Perhaps you should use an ISP who uses proper spam eradication techniques instead of a sledgehammer approach based on what you think prose should look like. While you ponder that, please also reply elsewhere as your post had nothing to do with the brilliant NetSurf.
