Actually, the problem I encountered on Outlook was that it automatically uses the "reply-to:" field instead of the "from:" field, when replying to the sender. It may cause embarrasing mistakes (on hackers-il, for example, and no, I will not direct to the exact email). My solution, of course, was to stop reading my hackers-il mail on Windows. At least pine asks me about "reply-to"s. But still it is dangerous. -- Orna. | http://tx.technion.ac.il/~agmon I am here therefore I came. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
