Please turn off your "email reciept notification" feature from Outlooking Express. Reason being 1)that it is annoying for users when a dialog box pops up asking for confirmation, 2) you sent the email to a mailing list(debian-user being one of the highest volume list) and it is obvious that it will be read by atleast a few thousand readers, and 3) just pray that all the readers do not click "Send message read confirmation" back to you! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
