OTOH, as soon as you send email out, the return address is public, at least in some form or another. You are at the mercy of everyone who receives the message, since a virus or malware can scan the inbox of anyone who has received your message. The address appear at least somewhat munged, although it certainly would be nice if the archive software could do more munging. - -- David Morton Maia Mailguard - http://www.maiamailguard.com Morton Software Design and Consulting - http://www.dgrmm.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEkb3PUy30ODPkzl0RApJVAKCpqznL3VQRfekQffVTcmy2lLwnmQCdFCql DJ6Mdtalc7HNsfEesIL+ErI=Nggd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
