Tell me about it - I've had 4 this morning! - I don't agree on the 'or this
list is useless' - annoying yes, useless not quite :-)

OK, I've also noticed the recent changes in the mailing list headers etc. now
obscure the poster, so It's nigh impossible to chase things up (something I
used to do :-) - OK the 'from:' and 'to:' address both say 'something@stripped'
- but that's easily faked...

How about blocking messages that aren't 'to:' the list?

Somethings got to be done... :(
