I do not quite agree (and, before we advance, I also have to state that I do not quite disagree). My personal view is that an e-mail client should frown on using a 'From:' address that is not configured under a valid account. In other words, the 'Reply-To' header field has to be a valid reference when the e-mail leaves the e-mail client. This, for an e-mail client, would go a long way on having said e-mail client taken out of some spammer lists. Which sort of throw us back into the the <off-topic/> issue I raised in my first e-mail: Comcast should have rejected my reply with a fake 'From:' field -- because this is what is was: a fake email address, as far as the Comcast environment was concerned. Please do not get me wrong -- it is still easy for those of us that play in the Internet standards (IETF, etc) to find out where the e-mail came from; there is always the legal request to the ISP to provide this information, as a last resort... and, believe me, if you show cause, they will. But I still would rather prefer an e-mail client that enforces such a restriction. -- ..hggdh.. Using The Bat! v3.0.9.12 Return and on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4
