Headers in your own mail clients?

Try using Elm which allows you to edit headers and add your own headers for each message. Remember - Prefix all such headers with X- (for example: from my headers - X-Spammers:You spamma my mailbox I nukea da ass [this holds good for anyone who spams me :-> - a nuke is anti- spam speak for pounding the guy's net access to dust - complain to his isp, email provider etc etc - and maybe the US State's attorney general's office, postal dept etc etc if the spam also has elements of fraud in it] back on track - Mutt allows you to place custom headers in your .muttrc (you can even run an unix command to generate that header - Binand Raj displays his current kernel version as a X- header) ~I~ use Pegasus Mail - one of the few reasons I still have windows installed. I prefer it to Mutt / Pine / [your favorite text only, ultra hackable, kewl unix mail client here <g>]. Besides, you can add your custom headers to every mail. Those of you who are sick of Outlook Express - download for free (just 3.2 megs) from http://www.pmail.com/dl and see what you can do with it at http://www.angen.net/~pegasus [hell, sorry - an ad from me? but this is freeware - so do see it if you do happen to have winDOZE installed somewhere and access the net using it] MTAs like sendmail can be configured to add custom headers - see the sendmail.cf for full info. Just remember to use the X- Header:Header info format or else it most likely will make your mta or the receiving mta or both choke and spit your mail back at you. ---s Suresh Ramasubramanian 106D, Aditya Enclave, Ameerpet, Hyderabad 500038, India.
