One other advantage this has is that I get mails to me. For instance, this one. Two copies came for me; one from Jonathan to me, and one from Jonathan to -questions, which bounces out to me. One lists Jonathan in the From line, and the other lists owner-freebsd-questions. That way, any mails directed to me personally end up in my inbox, and anything from the list ends up in a different folder, so it's easier to keep track of things that involve me directly, like this mail. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
