Thanks for everyone's replies to my posts. I'll try to hunt down those resources. <<The fact that you, a $1000 computer and a suitably optimized program could now do the test in a millisecond or two is irrelevant.>> Auuugh!

I prefer to send replies of specific interest to the enquirer only.

I doubt many "spammers" would deliberately change their message format to sneak by that rule.>> I'd love to, but AOL won't let me do that, and I'm too lazy to switch. In a month I'll try dropping my filters. On Christmas Eve I was spoofed and was subscribed to a trillion mailing lists. Nasty.
