none taken, although your more recent suggestion involving list-customized filters seems like way too much interference in the freedom that everyone should retain in choosing their own means of dealing with mail. what we need is a simplification, rather than the imposition of requiring that people adopt anything they don't choose for themselves. it's all a matter of eliminating the redundant litter that irritates everyone, such as html formatting in mail messages. the solution is simple--use plain text. so far, we've got three simple rules that appear to be generally approved-- 1. no spam 2. text-only (no html, ms-tnef, etc.) 3. wrap text --none of which require that anyone radically modify the essential structure of their own setup. let's stick with simple solutions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
