Off hand, I cannot think of an MUA that does not let the user inspect the email headers, although I am sure there must be a few. In any case, there is an RFC, I don't remember the number, that specifies what group information should be included in the email header. This group meets that requirement. For the record, I have belonged to groups that prominently displayed an "UNSUBSCRIBE" link at the bottom of each post; yet, some moron will still post a 'REMOVE' notice directly to the group. You can't fix stupid. -- Jerry ges...@yahoo.com _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
