Don't do it. The tagging of messages in the header as spam is a function of the ISP. I don't have his original message to check out his mail client, but the reference to "checking the web site" vs "filtered correctly on my computer" indicates this is a problem with configuration on his end, probably the order in which filters are applied. He should fix that rather than introducing additional noise into the subject line. Gus >----- Forwarded message from "Charles R.
