While the client can take care of it on the client side, there are also solutions that involve some sort of pre-processing. You could do it strictly on OS 9 (or less) with macjordomo and a one-person list, but if the client isn't bright enough to set "skip messages over __ K" (or the non-Eudora equivalent), then can you really expect them to configure a different reply-to address from the one they actually check? -- Michael Croft http://www.whiterose.org/michael SAM: It's 106 miles to the Crack of Doom.
