Thanks for the Command-Shift-H tip. I did not know that one. Here is the header. There is a bit too much info for me to make much sense out of. I see that a person's email address is listed under the return when I view he whole header. How does it work that I don't see a return address, and when I hit reply, it shows a blank "to" field. But, the revealed header shows an address to reply to. Would replying to that address and complaining and asking to unsubscribe be useful? Is that address likely a good one? Is my logic correct?
I used to use a spam complaint script with Emailer but it wasn't having much of an impact. The X rated stuff has died down pretty much but the gambling and group lotto and weight loss hawkers are more virulent than ever. Also some of these things, like netpal, say they are only here because I gave them permission from a site I visited. Theoretically if it's a legitimate site, asking to be taken off the list would actually work. But I did that a couple weeks back with one site and I swear the very next day I got two additional spammers on to my mailbox. There are a couple of emails I really look forward to for price watches and things which interest me. But all the rest of those unsolicited advertisements, called spam, are a real pain in the tush. Dave Groover PS - Hooray for Emailer for allowing me toot have to open web links when I view mail if I don't want to. Outlook Express drove me nuts dialing up the instant I clicked on a spam mail. ------------------- Status: U Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from offers5.netpaloffers.com ([209.220.162.192]) by pickering.mail.mindspring.net (Earthlink Mail Service) with ESMTP id 17dHl61tf3Nl3p20 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Fri, 31 May 2002 04:00:47 -0400 (EDT) From: "Sleep Angel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-Id: <43077135.8655697@mailhost> Subject: CNN News: SNORING, ADHD, FATIGUE, APNEA are Related; New Research...
