This kind of feature could be abused since it would require that you specify which email address to send a copy of the message to, and a malicious user could choose arbitrary addresses to submit. The attack could be automated so a DoS type of attach could be carried out. The <http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/> archives (and any that use mharc) have an Original link that downloads the original raw message. For the MUA I use, nmh, it is trivial to import the data into my inbox so I can manipulate it like any other message. However, for other MUAs, importing the dowloaded raw message may be more difficult. I like your idea, but unfortunately, I do not see a way to prevent if from being abused. Note, some do use mailto: links, but it is limited if you desire to have access to the entire message body. --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE MHONARC-USERS
