I realize of course, that one can filter out the headers, I'm just
wondering why someone should have to clutter up their muttrc, simply for
one person... <shrug>. If your goal is to convey a message in those
headers, then I think, realistically, that has failed. Good thing you're
not in advertising. ;)
Anyway no biggie. I don't wish to filter you out Dave -- you do have
pearls of wisdom. :)
