C/R is annoying, but it's also a powerful weapon against spam. I think the question is what you want to trade for spam control. Even the very use of a spam control application is a trade-off between the user's convenience and spam. Call me arrogant, but in my opinion, if a person doesn't consider his emails to me important enough for him to confirm that he really wants to send them, then the messages aren't important enough for me to read them. Sorry to use a cliche here, but almost any kind of person can be expected to exist, and you can't satisfy everyone. Not receiving mail from people who act "on principle" and won't bend their own rules seems like a fair trade to me. - wolf - _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
