Shrug, that's your opinion. My real life experience is some what different - I'm the one admin'ing these machines so I can see what's going on. > > Give me a way to stop people CC'ing me on replies and I'll happily remove > > the header.

It's the same argument I'm afraid, just a different point of view. If _you_ do not wish to abide by the header then turn off that feature in your mailer. That's _your_ preference and one which _you_ can set. > If you are unwilling to fix the problem and work within existing > community email standards, I think it would be fair to ask vger > postmaster to start excising Mail-Followup-To headers. Well, that will leave me with _no_ _choice_ but to arrange for the SMTP MAIL FROM from others to receive a 550 error code to remove the problem. Is that really what you'd like me to do? > You are NOT more important that everyone else. That's not the issue. Since it's obvious that you don't accept my argument, it's pointless discussing it further; there's nothing I can realistically do at this end to resolve the issue and still remain part of this community. I see no point in further discussion of this issue if such bigotry is going to continue; any further responses on this topic will not receive any replies from me. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
