sorry if I munged the quoted link. the email I received earlier today (did you not also get one?) had a link http://www.kernel-panic.org/pipermail/kplug-steer/2006-September/002752.html Backtracking the thread indicates the inititial posting was http://www.kernel-panic.org/pipermail/kplug-steer/2006-September/002750.html If I am reading the headers right, the ID is Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It looks to me that although Helga did include her raw email in the original message body, we possibly exacerbated the problem by putting the raw address into the subject line (which was repeated >20 times in a discussion thread). And even if she were less than totally careful, I thought my question innocent enough :-) .. especially since _we_ created the subject line. Would it be desirable to modify subject lines that people put real email addresses into? .. at least in our archive, if not in list-distributed mail? Possible answers: it's very hard it's harder than justified by the rare occurrence it fixes Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
