Putting a note in the LOR message will direct people to the information they need and cut down on list noise. This is the best way I can see to reduce (if not solve) the problem. I think it's a good idea, but I can understand the desire to avoid polluting the source. Regardless, I don't have the knowledge/power/seniority/etc. to make this decision, so I will defer to those who do. Jon Noack
