You mean it _could_ be useful if most others went along, which they haven't. There are a lot of things about normal SMTP practice that violate recent RFC's and I personally don't like. For something that doesn't affect mail transport, but is a matter of how MUA's interpret trace headers, most people feel they have bigger fish to fry. To fix this problem, you need to convince not only the makers of numerous MTA's to change, but the maintainers of mailing list packages and a large number of mailing list administrators. That's a large enough hurdle that I think it safe to say the horse has left the barn on this one a long time ago. Continuing to insist that things _should_ have been different, long past the point where that is feasible, only makes us look foolish. In that, we have been successful. -- Seth Goodman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
