How was I supposed to know that? As I said, I haven't the ability configured even to read HTML email, and I generally don't bother to try and read the source. Had it been an actual idiot user who can't use a proper subject message and has a silly HTML-only configuration, my reply was important educational material which was not overly condescending. However, it was spam, as you noted. The reply bounced, and maybe someone else reading the list who has not yet configured their mail system sanely saw my message and did so. Wasted effort on my part? Probably, but maybe not. Someone needs to tweak spamassasin to be just a little more paranoid about marking, if it is still even running on the lists - I've not seen anything marked spam in the past week and a half's mail, which I read just yesterday after getting out of the hospital. Ugh. Also, one minor nitpick about spamassasin marking list mail, *****SPAM***** is a little annoying, can it be *SPAM* or [SPAM] or so? -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@bluecherry.net> Here we go again <Hydroxide> knightbrd: from knightbrd.brain import * :) <knghtbrd> Oh gods if it were that easy .. <knghtbrd> from carmack.brain import OpenGL
