Why have the person's email address show at all? Surely the software can be set to eliminate e-mail addresses or mung them to the point of being useless to spam-bots and trolls. I could have sworn I just said that... There has to be _something_ in the address line, or it's not a valid news message according to the RFC (I think - I could be wrong). It certainly doesn't have to be usable. For the record, I was thinking of converting 'Derek ' to 'Derek xxx@xxx'. Keeping the alias used by the poster is convenient because most of us have software that uses that for the salutation, and it's user selectable anyway, so if you don't want your own name there it won't be. -- derek |

I'm sure that question will come up at the right time and will be answered for us. -- ZB.... Frugal ponding since 1995. rec.ponder since late 1996.
