Sometimes people send mail to an entire list of people with the intent that the recipients should *not* be able to reply to everyone, just the original author. This is accomplished by having the user's alias name on the To: line and have that passed to the MTA. In mush, this is accompished by setting the variable, $no_expand Are you saying that this is illegal? I'm sure the RFC's provide some method for accomplishing the same task if this isn't legal. -- dan ---------------------------------------------------- O'Reilly && Associates argv@sun.com / argv@ora.com Opinions expressed reflect those of the author only.
