We, many of us, are messaging professionals. If any of us are confused or unable to read our email headers then we have larger problems. The list here works pretty much like lists have since the earliest days of list-serve. There should be no surprises. If the occasional user doesn't know how it works a gentle nudge should be adequate. I run a lot of mail lists and I do it all the time. As professionals we should not require our hands be held and a label put on all we touch. This thread is getting a bit silly. dp _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
