For those of you who don't see them, Ron is talking about headers
that look like this at the top of the posts:

	List-Id: Open Forum for Piano Technicians <pianotech.ptg.org>

The reason I say "for those who don't see them" is that newer mail readers
aren't supposed to show them to you.  Now before we see a bunch of replies
with "I see them" let me say I am aware than many mailers do display them.
Those mail programs are not compliant with the Internet standards, but
that fact doesn't make the headers any less annoying.  I can turn off those
headers although the help text on the administration page highly recommends
leaving them on for those mailers that support them.

So Ron, before I turn them off, would you be willing to check and see
if your Eudora program has an option to stop showing them to you?  If
it turns out we have lots of mail readers that cannot deal with them,
I'll go ahead and shut them off.

>Good job.

Thanks!  And thanks for the feedback.
