I agree.  If the company IT department is not cooperating, there's always
Yahoo! Mail... ;-)

Well, not to step on anyone's toes here, but I, for one, think that the
spam filter needs to be reconfigured.  I tried sending the screen
announcement ( http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg00419.html )
SEVEN times yesterday, until it finally got through the spam filter, with
much cutting and rephrasing.  Adding more rules to the spam filter will
only increase the likelihood of rejecting legitimate postings.

It took the computational power of three Commodore 64s to fly to the moon.
It takes a 486 to run Windows 95.  Something is wrong here. -- SC sig file
