the patch should still be available on my emailer web site. <http://www.mythtech.net/emailer>, but honestly, I'd no waste my time with it. No one uses the header so it won't achieve anything. >Given how much wasted time is wasted deleting spam everytime you download >wouldn't this be a valuable path for all of us to follow? I think they just didn't do a good job of getting the word out and educating people why it would be a good thing. Plus, it doesn't prevent spam from getting to you, it just gives you a key to filter on. ISPs were working on (and developed) was to filter the spam at the server level so it never even gets to you. Obviously that is the prefered way of handling things, so it rather rendered the point to the habeas headers moot. And, since it depended entirely on mass adoption, it was in a catch-22. No one could really take advantage of it until everyone started using it. But no one was willing to bother using it, unless they could already take advantage of it. >I see this asks you to give it a name. Does this mean you can have a >separate signature for different purposes? And is it automatic or do >you have to type in the 'name' of the signature at the end of each Email? You can have multiple signatures, and you can choose either to pick one manually as you want (when you compose a new email, at the bottom of the window is a popup marked "Signature" it will show all the signatures you have created, whatever one you choose is the one that will be inserted into the bottom of the email). Or you can have a signature inserted automatically for a given account. To do that, go to your account settings and check the Options tab, there is a popup there for Default Signature. What ever one you choose there will automatically be selected to be included when you compose a new email using said account. You can still override the automatic inclusion on any given email by simply manually changing the signature popup at the bottom of the new email composition window. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
