Sending responses like this to a mailing list instead of to the sender of the original message ranks right up there. Maybe you didn't notice, but the CVCOM spam was sent to the PICLIST, not directly to you. CVCOM doesn't HAVE your e-mail addresss, so sending a response to them (even with the word "remove" in it) won't get you removed from their database. My guess is that this is a clever way for them to GET your e-mail address in the first place. In general, the best thing to do with spam like this is to simply delete it. If you have a smart mailreader, you can configure it to automatically delete any future e-mail from cvcom.com. I have a fairly involved kill file already, and I haven't received any of those Krazy Kevin magazine spams in months. If EVERYBODY ignored commercial spam, the people sending it would quickly grow tired of wasting their time and would find some other way to advertise. Responding to it en masse simply reinforces their belief that the internet IS a good way to reach a large population. -Andy Andrew Warren - fastfwdKILLspamix.netcom.com Fast Forward Engineering, Vista, California http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2499
