This is my final post on the subject. :) Even if reply to etc was hidden then the originators email address and ip address etc will still be in the email source so there is no point what so ever in just removing the usually visible information. Forgetting spammers for a while any one that receives that information is at liberty to probe the machine that sent it see what services are offered and etc. A site called grc.com (shields up)can usually give information about one aspect of that. Not all unfortunately. While there seems to be some sort of agreement that this information should be in the source it's probably pointless as all internet activity is traceable.I would be very surprised if the police, mi5, nsa etc care two hoots about that aspect. Many spammers exist by tampering with that information in any case. Phishers that gather email addresses usually root people to a unique web page that logs the visit so if some one is curious about them alter the web address and take a look. Much less risk providing you are not on a fixed ip address. John -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
