That's a *very* stupid idea.

Not at all. If you want this sort of anonymity, use a remailer or a
trash account.

Yeah, right...

I've got the same for procmail somewhere here. So there.

Errr... how would you want to that, Brett?

Two major annoyances on the net: people who Bcc: you (man OutlookExpress
for a particularly braindamaged example) and people "answering" after a
couple of years...

where usenet is a small tool that checks for an expired date. Setup
courtesy of Fefe. Then you also need an MUA/NR that can say something
along the lines of (for slrn):

|   {
|     variable date;
|     date = localtime(_time());

Brett> That's my few words for the day...

Right. Now, Brett, less talk and more (setq sc-nested-citation-p t).
