My point was that this sort of thing may not be taken kindly to by a stranger. If you want to go about correcting the world's email habits, you should (a) make sure that the problem you're seeing is clearly referenced in the web page you link to, (b) if that's not the case, say what the problem is. I don't mean to pick on Greg: he's one of the most polite people around and it wasn't he who started this thread. Rahul
