Next question & off topic, how do we teach list members it is very poor form to go off on holiday and set an out of office auto-reply pointed at a mailing list, this will get me 5 or 6 of them in the next 10 minutes. As they don't sort to the list because they address the sender, they stay in my inbox, I am getting tempted to setup a procmail rule to /dev/null the darned things. Please folks, do NOT setup an auto-responder that acts on mailing lists! It is nothing more nor less than pure spam for us. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
