I would imagine that there is a problem with some email readers or this
wouldn't be a topic but I use MS Outlook I have the filter set so if
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is in the "TO" or the "CC" it dumps in the cf-talk
folder. I have been on this list for about 3 weeks with no stray messages. I
am also on a number of other list and I have set them up the same way and
have had no problems with stray messages. So what is the big deal? jees!
LOL!
