E-mail clients may indeed follow the convention. However, the only RFC to specify this -- RFC 3676 -- addresses only newsgroup messages. There is no formal convention (and thus no convention at all) regarding this for E-mail. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> On occasion, I might filter and ignore all newsgroup messages posted through GoogleGroups via Google's G2/1.0 user agent because of spam from that source. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
