I don't mean to be rude, please don't take it as such, and if I seem a bit
snappy, please know, that there have been otherpet peavs tonight which have
done by far and away more than tick the heck outta me, so just know before I
ask this, I am not trying to sound rude, if I do.
What exactly though is the point of not forwarding msgs to the list? I
mean, the way I see it is, if there is useful information, then it may be
worth others to read. Also, Gordon, don't take this rudely, but from an i t
tech standpoint, as I am i t certified, allow me to remind you something
that you probably didn't consider. Remember that copy and paste is a really
nice thing. Also, I don't think it's gonna be possible to filter forwards,
mainly for the reason that you could make a script, or filter, or server
sided c g i, or php or whatever script to handle this by means of a boolien
statement while loop, that says if this variable is true, then, delete the
message, else, let it through. Then in the variable, you could say
something like let variable="fw" or "fwd" but even doing this could easily
be hacked.
People easily could either delete f w / fwd out of the subject field. Boom!
There went your filter. Or, they could delete the forward indicator, fw,
fwd, whatever, out of the subject, then could even go as far as to then just
grab the mail to be forwarded, do a select all in the body, compose a new
mail with command+n, type the list address, tab to the subject, call it
whatever, tab to the body, and command+V, then delete the person's name from
the bottom, put their name in place instead, then command+shift+D to send it
off, and for all everyone else knows, it wasn't even a forward to start
with. It would look as if they themselves typed it from scratch. The
bottom line is, I don't see much point in this polacy, as though I
understand maybe it not being good netiquet, you! all have to understand
that trying to not allow this probably is gonna be very difficult to
implement at best. I didn't say you and Lynn had to agree with my opinion,
but at least consider it. I think you'll find, much as you both hate
admitting it, I do have a very very valid point.
Chris.
