RE: [Plug] Potential new meeting place


IIRC, RRQ's were a modification to the standard internet mail RFC 822 (or
whichever) first introduced by Microsoft.  

But. from your last post...

X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0)

I guess you already knew that.  Dunno bout you, but Eudora has a little
button in the Compose Message window for RRQ's (has "RR" in it).  In your
situation, simply unclicking this would suffice.

Of course, Nick, if you like, *EVERY* member of the PLUG list (I'm sure
this is 150+) can respond to EVERY one of your RRQ's.  Post 5 messages, get
750 replies.

Not only is it a waste of bandwidth and /var/spool/mail, it's annoying to
the few of us who still use Windows because Eudora has decent mail
filtering capabilities.  And yes, I know that procmail will do the same,
but I don't have the time right now to deal with that (at least, not until
O'Reilly publishes a book about it).

Please remove them.
