If I had a relationship with you, then you would be whitelisted (and on my speed dial). But in terms of unsolicited one-offs, the abbreviated "pharma" is a heavily used spam term (e.g. regex: \bpharma\b). If you were to email me a one-off regarding "pharmacology", "pharmaceutical", etc., there would be no block based on the full/proper terms.
Its just all food-for-thought. -- ME2 On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 11:39 AM, Michael B. Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hrm. You'd block lots of email from me.
