My point was that (presumably) your wife is NOT spamming you (or me) with forged emails and so would be included when I say, 'I have never seen a FAKE [one] without the quotes.' We aren't checking for FAILURE to find the quotes but rather only checking those WHICH HAVE the quotes and then do NOT ALSO have (a version of) the "real name". If you wish to check for forgeries without the quotes that may be useful (thus legitimate criticism) but so far no forgeries without the quotes and conservative filtering is my usual method. -- Herb
