Any email that was addressed to someone will have a "to:" header. Most spam will not address their email to anyone. Instead they place your email address in the bcc header. So technically an email like that isn't "to" anyone, although it is being blind carbon copied to someone. bcc is just like cc except no one but the sender knows who it was bcc'ed to. That is a very common and simple technique of spammers to make filtering them more difficult. Kmail does have a "to:" column, as does any email reader. It's what I use to filter mail from this mailing list into its folder. Matt _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
