None of that changes the fact that From:, To:, and CC: are very poor choices for mailing list filtering. Mailing lists should be filtered on the Sender: mail header line (or, if that's not set, on another unique header). --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Author, CSS in 24 Hours http://cssin24hours.com Inland Anti-Empire Blog http://blog.kynn.com/iae Shock & Awe Blog http://blog.kynn.com/shock
