Then surely using the address given in the `From ' line can't be worse than using `' (the empty string) as reply address? On mailinglists, the "From " line is mostly a pointer to the owner of the mailinglist. I don't think that this persons wants to recieve mails because something is broken on the actual senders side. I know I wouldn't, I know I would hate it, I know I would track down the dimwit who coded the feature and force him to learn texinfo. -- Bahnhof; http://www.bahnhof.se/ | a difference of (work) phone(voice/fax): +46 18 100899/103737 | opinion is possible PFAWWW; http://pfawww.pp.se/pp/ | ^. .^ anum meum (!work) phone(voice) : +46 18 247473 | ( @ ) aperies
