not to pick on anyone in particular...

would you please trim your posts to this list to ensure you do not divulge
email addresses

for example, please do not start your post by echoing headers --

if you would browse the public archives, you will see that email addresses
in general are hidden by the archive software

there is no need to reveal them in the posts themselves


trimming unnecessary stuff is also just plain courteous

rarely is it necessary to include an entire previous post in order to
establish the context for your reply
