I didn't mean he shouldn't read them, although if he did, it might be a first! I meant that if the messages pass thru him before any- one else gets to see them, well, better check them carefully...

i suggest that you write a script that checks on everybody, including myself. it should basically subscribe to all mailing lists and store checksums with hostnames indexed by message-id.

I would if I could. You know how I love to produce those charts with [STATS] in the header. I'm a heavy user of difference-utility programs and personal "cooks" on the daytime job, but my problem here is I don't run a real O/S (I have Win95), and so getting the mail into a parseable format is prohibitively time-consuming. If the c-punks were a real threat to national security or something (what a hoot that would be!), you can be sure there'd be a lineup at the O/S utility window to get whatever traffic analysis s/w was available. Right now I do my part the hard way, i.e., hunt, peck, and hope the Windows system doesn't crash every 25 messages, which is its usual. Maybe IBM's are better - I use HP.
