YMMV, but this is a pretty short-sighted argument imo. a) you're letting people request it, which means that if someone wanted it (like the spammers you're apparently attempting to keep it from), they would just request it. b) by forcing people to manually request it, you're just making it harder for people to get the benefit of using it. c) also due to (b), it'll be harder for you to catch (if you could at all) (a). d) after (a) happens, if the detection happens due to something simple like "no text in text/plain part and pdf attachment with A4 paper size", the method will be changed and you're back to square one. All in all, you're better off just making things public. -- Randomly Selected Tagline: "I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean." - G. K. Chesterton
