Biology Lines: 13 What Kyle said, doubly so if members of your mailing list are being passed through mailers that lose the message envelope. We (bionet) just had the rather embarrassing situation where one of our JANET distribution nodes was doing just what you want, and we ended up in a mailer loop. Furthermore, if you modify the default behavior of a mailer, you will end up with people sending public messages that should have been private. -- Eliot Lear [lear@turbo.bio.net]
