This is OT but important enough to mention once at least. You say you are using Gmane at home. Are you *posting* to this List from Gmane, and if so are you using 'Archive: encrypt' as a custom header in your newsreader settings? If not you may be leaving yourself open to spamming and address harvesting. Pls go to Gmane and read FAQs about how to practice safe "Gmane'ing". HTH, Soren A -- Just say NO to YAHAAPs!
