For example there are many people using Outlook and Exchange and when they are out they tend to set the system up to send back an "Out of Office" reply to all incoming messages. Imagine what would happen on a list like this if the From field was set to the list (especially during holiday seasons....). There are other reasons as well. HTH /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
