Yahoo and AOL are other major handlers that do the same/similar thing (and there are other not-as-major email handlers doing it too). As has happened many times in the past, the "rules" for email handling have changed. The biggest group of legitimate email handlers affected by this change is mailing list handlers; they need to adapt or get blocked/sidelined/etc. Is it annoying? Yep. Is what these providers are doing a good idea? That's debatable. Is it here to stay? Most likely. -- Chris Adams <linux at cmadams.net>
