Done! Good idea.

Would it be possible to save all the list mail to a file, before
forwarding, run a pgm on it to remove names, and then forward that
file to the archive? A bit of trouble, I know, and maybe not necessary
if everyone gets rid of the body reference.

Hmmm... another beta lister that got the spam. The plot thickens. Did
anyone NOT on the beta list get it?

If I was a truly dedicated spammer<g>,I'd subscribe to lots of lists,
collect all the replies, and harvest them. Not much one can do about
that, though :-(((.
