Subject: full hdrs with message/rfc822?

Hello,
Is there a decent way of getting pine to show the full headers (if they exist 
and some clients can send them) in this MIME bodypart.

pine3.96 (and I assume earlier ones) can be persuaded to do this by piping the 
bodypart to cat. Is there a better way?

Thanks

Alan Thew

Would anyone be able to tell me how to suppress my address on outgoing
mail it is mainly because several people in my course are having there
names slandered by people who use their alias to send offensive email.
I know it is a stupid question but I have to ask anyway.

Thanks

It's not a stupid question, it's just a bad idea... 

There are several precautions one can take against spam/uce, all of which
can be looked up in the netabuse and spam faqs. For a start, check:

	URL: http://digital.net/~gandalf/spamfaq.html
	
, which is quite canonical. You might also turn to the following newsgroups:

   alt.2600
   alt.spam
   alt.current-events.net-abuse
   news.admin.net-abuse.misc
   alt.hackers
   alt.answers
   news.answers
         
especially if your address has been forged already. Messing with the address
will not stop a criminal, but it will make it unnecessary cumbersome to
reply to your mails.

You might also check procmail to filter out unwanted mails (perhaps to do
something "nice" with them later >;-> ). There are some good anti-spam
recipes available and the people on the procmail list are very friendly and
helpful.

Have a nice weekend.

Later,
Robin
