G> I agree on your bandwidht concern. Give me (a DUN connection user) please a little math for this "waste of bandwidth". Please compare it to ML's that don't use these headers or footers, but many users use HTML. I pay THB 35/hr (about € 0.80/hr). My average download speed is a low 1KB/sec. With the volume of this list, how much do these headers and footers cost me? If one posting of average length came in by HTML per day, how much would that cost me? Or are you talking about bandwdith between the servers? My point is that there is no bandwidth concern for these few lines, as long as mailers like OL and Incredimail exist. G> As for the footers I would suggest a link to the website with G> instructions. It is difficult enough to get people to read the footers. But at least we haven't had a "unsubscribe" message to the list (followed by long threads consisting of flames and ridicule) for a while. The probability that people follow links is a lot less than that for reading the footer. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
