Should be, but some (influential) people don't see it, or don't want it to be seen. Another problem with it is what CAUCE call the "One Bite Of The Apple" problem: there's 23 million small businesses in the US. each of those gets 1 mail before you opt-out for 3 years. That's a possible 7.6 million messages per recipient per year. And that's stopping spam how? --j. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
