Open attacks, profanity, and belittlement are uncalled for in any situation on this list. It's wrong and it's unfair. You have the option to ignore, or better yet, use procmail and the "From:" header to directly divert "problem" emails to /dev/null. I'm not sure what's worse... emails from people not understanding things well, or the 6 responses (including my reply) to the original post. Replys should be short and constructive; anything else wastes room in the users' Inbox. Jeff Krebs
