Actually, that wasn't *quite* what I was suggesting. However, if you want this to happen, the digest needs to be fixed. The messags it provides only have From, Subject & Date headers. I don't know of a mailer that will pick up a From header and put it in a Cc: line. I have to go back and add the Cc: line for -questions by hand. I've lobbied more than once to get this changed. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
