I am sending this posting >from BITNET. Eric's note had a Reply-To: pointing to some third user, which is presumably what he's worried about. Apparently Eric is concerned about our ability to dump mail to some unsuspecting user and found a irritant to prove his point with. :-) At some point, we have to say, "We're all consenting adults." With a little sleuthing the victim can determine who the perpetrator was and have the victim's site management get in touch with the perpetrator's site management. As a benefit, I can ask a question for another user and point the answers to her instead of myself. Sure, like a lot of things, it can be abused. But has there been more abuse of this feature than benefits, or has Eric just been watching too many late-night horror movies again? I don't see that there's anything more than a *potential* problem here, so I wouldn't encourage Eric to spend any time worrying about it, let alone coding a fix. One man's opinion only.... Nick
