Upon reflection I can say you are right, UNLESS we can put this "signup" thing on the end-user's machine so he can set it in his own privacy and no one else can pilfer it. The ultimate solution is AI mail clients, but that's too far off to wait for, I feel. Jim Sewell - jims@tansoft.com Tantalus Incorporated - Key West, FL

Actually I just set-up a Twit/Auto-Reply filter for my email client. If you make it onto my twit filter all messages are bounced with a message to stop sending mail. I don't even know the message was sent to me unless I check my logfile. If someone really pisses me off some creative mail-bombing tend to get the message accross. - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------- William H.
