I believe the idea is right but your example is wrong. 4.92 rounds to 4.9, not to 5.0 It may have been any number between 4.95 and 4...., say 4.983 > I think the hits= is a rounded number. So it may have been > 4.92 for example. > > >>> "Chris Barnes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 01/30/04 11:42AM >

I get the "justified" part of your rule, but what about the rule references HTML? I'd consider renaming your rule to JUSTIFIED_74_EQUAL or some such. > -Original Message- > From: Regis Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, December 12, 2003 9:35 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sub

2003-12-09 Thread Matthew . van . Eerde
W/O BCC the best thing is to recode the CGI script to send individual emails to each recipient rather than sending them all at once. For example, instead of: my $to_everybody = '[EMAIL PROTECTED];[EMAIL PROTECTED];[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; my $result = &send_mail($from, $to_everybody, $subject, $messa
