Oh, you did it the slow hard way. I have a friend that used to do it all the time and ignored me asking him to use BCC. I finally got fed up with having my addy sent to the whole world, so I simply picked one of his emails, and did a reply to all... then wrote a very nasty email making fun of how stupid he is to believe the contents of the forward, and how if he would use just a few brain cells he could research the topic and educate himself, and stop wasting my time proving how much of a moron he is. He wrote back to yell at me for sending such an embarassing reply to everyone... I told him simply "oops, oh well, I just hit reply, and since you sent it out that way, it must have replied to everyone. If you had sent it BCC it wouldn't have been an issue". All future forwards from him have come BCC. I do greatly prefer the 2x4 to the head method of educating people. :-) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
