Ah, I see now. Well, I can think of the following as a pretty easy workaround (at least for me). While viewing the email: View > Headers > All Click Forward Content should have complete headers Add government address in the TO field. I use to send them off too, religiously, years ago. The scams never stopped, in fact picked up in frequency, so I surmise that sending them to the government has no effect. And how could it? The U.S. has no jurisdiction in Nigeria. Nowadays, I just ignore them as they always end up in my Junk filter, which self-deletes after three days. -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
