So Ilan of Mobileye (I assume), here's a little lesson to you, while we're already talking about hiding stuff: If you want to hide the identity of your employer, it's not enough to avoid mentioning it in the *body* of your email and use an "anonymous" mail box as a reply address. At the very least, you need to also make sure the MTA (that's mail server for you) you're using to send the email is not configured to send the name of said employer as part of the message header. Let that be a lesson to you - no matter how smart you think you are in hiding stuff, somewhere out there is someone who even smarter then you or at least bored enough to crack the secret wide open :-) Cheers, Gilad Gilad. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
