Violation of one's privacy�probably, but more definitely an indication of the sender's stupidity in not knowing the difference between "carbon copy" and "blind carbon copy." It is just as easy to send things bcc and hide all the eddresses as not. Although Mac users sometimes do it, too, it (cc-ing) is just rampant in the PC world, as PCers just seem not to have any idea about how to run their computers! Since one is unlikely to be able to train everyone out of doing it, it is also perhaps a good reason for having A-list and B-list eddresses so that one protects one's "good" eddresses from the idiots! ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
