paul the first time around...
__________________________original reply follows:
hi all,
having the comment in the header is very nice, but headers were never meant
to be displayed to the reader, much less read. they are protocol, not content. you
don't read the IP-packet headers when your dial-up connection fails, do you?
some email programs make it easy to display the headers, some make it
difficult. i don't think that at this stage in internet development you can demand
of users to check email headers anymore.

ps: i guess this means that a note should be added to the bottom of the mails
coming from the list...
pss: pleas don't flame me too much, i'm busy as is.
