i promise you, they will never be passed through. Ever. The person who wrote

Just because you don't believe my explanation of the problem doesn't mean
it wasn't true. The system is hosted for free for me, and I respect the network
of the host. You send in one file. It would send out N copies. Always. Even
if the person would never read it.

And then when someone changes email addresses, or wants out, they
can't, because
they say "stop copying me!" and unless everyone stops replying to any old
mail in the thread, it doesn't work. If you like, I'll forward you
just such a request from
Russ Jackson and then the N more replies that went to his work address
after he asked.

So, just because it's not a problem *you* have...

Can be, based on the sender's idea of the receiver's interest.
Well, I know my interest better than you. At least, I did when I got
up this morning. I suppose I
could reverify.

It's horrible. Except for all the other crappy things.
