Agreed, although many of us may not have a website to use.

Agreed.

No accounting for taste ;)

The thing that _really_ annoys me is all the out-of-office autoreplies that
result from posting to this list. It would be nice if these could be prevented
somehow.

But you're providing an invaluable service, & thanks very much.

And, yes, it's for individual subscribers to provide their own general purpose
virus protection, rather than expect a free list service to do it for them.

Regards,
Chris
