Unfortunately some people use email or worse word! to send emails. Ebay, amazon, farnell and other companies use html-mails too. So deleting html mails is not longer possible today. > BTW, Is antiword any use?

You need webspace that allows you to execute cgi-scripts, or a provider that have a formmail.cgi already installed for its users (what is ntlworld?) I am using the nms-formmail: http://www.scriptarchive.com/nms.html > It's this bad: My son-in-law in Italy wanted my e-mail, so he googled > for "Declan Moriarty".

It would be fine, if the email adresses could be hidden there (e.g. like groups.yahoo.com do it). But it is not yet a problem. I use a special mail adr for every list, and I have not get spams over that adresses (yet! ;-). Fortunately mutt allows me to edit every line in the mail header. I wonder when they will discover the pgp key servers ;-(.
