I'd love to see hoaxes detected. At one point they rivaled spam in some of my personal accounts. The "Guts to Say Jesus Hoax" was sent to an awful lot of users at one certain place I know. If someone had the time to write rules for all of these, I'd buy them a case of cold ones. :) http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html J ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
