me for that effort and then provide no further information !


You posted a suggestion that is likely to get anyone that follows it killfiled or worse. This isn't something that there is an easy fix for - in general, unless you are prepared to do a lot of background research yourself, it is worth simply installing some software that already has done the hard work.

To give a simple example of why this is bad, consider a mailing list that you are subscribed to.

1) Someone posts an interesting message to the list.
2) The mailing list sends a copy to everyone, including you.
3) You reply with your vacation message.
4) The mailing list sends a copy to everyone, including you.
5) You reply with your vacation message.
6) The mailing list sends a copy to everyone, including you.
7) You reply with your vacation message.
etc...


Typically, this might result in hundreds of messages within a few minutes, until someone gets around to unsubscribing you from the list.

Now there are several ways to stop this kind of thing from happening. But your code doesn't do any of them.
