The filter is there to tell the sender, "thanks but no thanks". Writing programming specifically designed for getting around a filter is breaking and entering! Simply put, it is "not taking no for an answer". What gets me is that after saying "no" they still think we are going to say "yes" after rudely break in. Last time I checked that technique doesn't go over too well in other venues. Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV
