Ethan, sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused you. That was far
from my intentions, I assure you. I will follow your advice about
handing them in the future. But I have a question about one point in
your instructions. So that I can recognize it better, would you explain
this differently:

> "... all of
> the "list" spam I get doesn't actually pass through lists on its way
> to my inbox.  I believe spammers put list addresses in the To/Cc, but
> send the mail directly, to try to defeat spam filters..."

I am not following your meaning there. Thanks.
