It's not an 'unjustified hatred' as much as it is that 50% of the people don't like 'em, and 50% of the people do. The people who don't like them have their reasons, and the people that like them have their reasons. Neither are necessarily going to believe or understand the other camps reasoning. There *is* a way to add the tag, just as there are other ways to filter. As with everything in the Unix world, TMTOWTDI. As had been suggested, procmail does wonders for this. I may have mis-read that, but I didn't see it as anti-Microsoft. I saw it as pro-use-the-right-tool-for-the-job. I'm not sure if postfix can modify message headers on the fly, but I *do* know that if you run everything through procmail on its way through your 'free linux/free spamassassin' setup, you can easily do whatever you need, and work around whatever limitations your other software packages have placed on your office, and that you are forced to live with. Perhaps the list moderators can step in and give the official list standpoint on subject tags? - Damian 'This Really Is My Last Post' Gerow
