Looking at all my cached messages, I saw 9 including replies. Only one reply went through the mail server to reach me as shown by its headers (such as X-BeenThere: python-list@python.org). The most obvious non-reply *appeared* to be injected into usenet from Google Groups and today's "Boobies" was similar. If you are reading through usenet, spam messages are recognised and expired early - I don't know what mechanism is used for this. Neil -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
