Well, you *do* have to allow for the case where the person is *not* a hot-shot email user, and may just read their one or two lists, not be a big Internet jock. They dont know how to forge a 'serve on' from another address, and they may not *know* anybody else who they can ask to do it FOR them. -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Engineer Virginia Tech
