It would also require people to voluntarily correct the To and Cc headers in postings where it's obvious that they are misplaced (or where the subject moved off the topic). I've seen enough threads that have been kept in two lists in parallel solely since people are TOO LAZY to correct the headers, simply hit the g)roup reply key over and over again, thereby growing the To/Cc fields drastically. Guys, you mostly use X11, remember the mouse buttons 1 and 2 for cutting and pasting... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
