[...] It's not always that simple: for instance, my email address changed a few years ago from simonm@dcs.glasgow.ac.uk to simonm@dcs.gla.ac.uk, and it was impossible to send mail that appeared to come from the original address. Hence I was stuck on several mailing lists with no way to unsubscribe. > Telling them how to forge mail won't help anything. You're absolutely right, and my message was intended to be slightly tongue-in-cheek. Sorry for the confusion.
