Umm, Randall, I think you've missed the point of my post. I claimed that
people should not be blamed for something they have no control over, and
suggested a means of giving them the control. It *must* require
cooperation from the sender. Should they choose to ignore this control,
they'll deserve every ounce of abuse they get. Please do not deprive the
members of this list from the opportunity to be rightfully mean! ;-)
Perhaps when (and if) this is implemented, it could be added to the FAQ,
so people won't be able to (validly) complain that this is not documented
anywhere. Then, along with the abuse, we could point them to the FAQ. :-)
