It's not that tough just to check who your messages are going to and click "delete" on one of the recipients. I always check myself, just to know who the message is going to. Not to do so is somewhat careless, IMO. You should always know where your Email is going before clicking "Send." > Read that carefully: http://www.lemis.com/questions.html#answer > "6. ...Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the > person and copy FreeBSD-questions." Consider this strong personal request a "good reason to do otherwise," and thus obeying the list charter. My mail reader in Windows (Eudora) allowed server-side filtering - I.E. if I didn't want to receive a message, the mail reader wouldn't download it at all, just instruct the server to delete the message. My BSD Email program doesn't do that, AFAIK (I'll have to check more carefully). I have a right to control what goes into my private mailbox, and to request that others don't send me mail, for whatever reason I please. I don't dislike Sue, am not trying to get on her case, I simply don't want any personal Email from her. If she wants to discuss something with me (or I with her) I want it to take place on the list only, so others can offer feedback. That's all I'm asking, and I'm not trying to start trouble. Think of it like this: There's a certain person you want to talk to only in a public place, not one to one in a room in your house. Certainly there are a few people in your life you could apply that to, for whatever reason. ---------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: Tim Gerchmez Date: 27-Jun-98 Time: 21:16:08 This message was sent by XFMail under Fvwm2 and FREEBSD.
