Never understimate the stupidity of some people... Never underestimate the usefulness of adding a "this was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]" at the top of mailings; it'll help both people like him and people that like me has gone from getting great env-info to getting more or less none... Don't know how many times I've been grep:ing for the welcome-mail just to figure out what address I used when I subscribed to a list. Then again, that might just fall under "never underestimate the stupidity of some people"... =) -- /\___/\ /\___/\ \_@ @_/ \_@ @_/ +--oOO-(_)-OOo------------------------------------------oOO-(_)-OOo--+ | Per scientiam ad libertatem! // Through knowledge towards freedom! | +---ôôô---ôôô--------------------------------------------ôôô---ôôô---+ \O/ \O/ (c)1998-2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] \O/ \O/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
