I believe that turning it on is not enough. SpamAssassin flags e-mail with a spam score, but then it is up to you to decide what to do with that spam score. For example, I recently turned on SpamAssassin, but then I also went into my Thunderbird e-mail options (under the "Junk Mail" controls) and checked the box that says to "Trust junk mail headers set by: SpamAssassin". Depending on your e-mail client, there are other approaches. For example, you can have SpamAssassin modify the subject line of your messages, and then tell your e-mail client to examin those subject lines when your mail arrives.

Thanks carbonize I had just looked that up and came here to apologize. You beat me to the correction.

As a side note, I believe it's more correct to say: <script language="javascript"> than it is to say: <script type="text/javascript">

Your treating why() as if it IS a string. But why() actually PRINTS a string. What you had essentially put a writeln inside a write. Modify your why() function to say this, instead of the writeln(): function why() { return "sample text"; } That should do the trick.

Thanks Bruce. That might explain it. I don't know if the spam was received by both her and me, but I did just e-mail her and BCC me, and the resulting header looks very similar to the one I received. I appreciate the idea.

I'm hoping maybe someone could shed some light on something... I was trying to get to the cause of some of my spam. As I began looking at some of it, I noticed that the recipient of that spam was listed as moms_accountname@****, but it was showing up at my_account@****. I don't get any other mail that was intended for my mom's account...just some of her spam. When I look at the message headers of this spam, I see a line that says "Envelope-to: my_account@****" Then, later, I see in the same header: To: <moms_account@****> Is the spam I'm getting the result of some razzle-dazzle on the part of the spammer, or is something happening on my server that is wrapping her spam and sending it to me? I wasn't running any extra stuff at the time, such as Spam Assassin. I might just need the complete dummies' guide to e-mail headers, so if anyone can teach me a bit, I'd appreciate it.

I have some old Eisenhower dollars that I've wanted to pass along to my son one day, so I've been putting one under his pillow for each tooth. The problem is that I have fewer dollars than he has teeth.

300 baud...where you could read the text faster than you could transfer the text. I used my Commodore 128 and a 1200 baud modem to run a BBS. Anyone here ever use Quantum Link? It was an AOL-like national service for Commodore users.

By the way...you had asked whether/why someone would want to back up EVERYTHING...I like to occasionally take a "snapshot" of my drive...backing it up byte by byte. More than once I've been in a situation where some kind of software had wreaked havoc on my drive. Using Windows restore points didn't save me from some of those situations. But, having an image from a time when my hard drive was clean...that was my savior. Personally, I believe you should find a balance between fully backing up, and backing up individual documents...the latter of which probably should be done more frequently.

I have a One Touch as well. But basically the "one touch" seemed to be a button that triggered software I had to install on my computer. So, it seemed like using the one touch button made me use their own software. So, I use the One Touch drive, but not the one touch button. Instead, I use separate software that I prefer for backing up my software. I've been very happy with Acronis True Image software, which can either save an image file of your entire drive, or back up individual files/directories. My two cents.

You might also want to look at using the Document Object Model (DOM) and JavaScript. There is a chapter in Jeremy Keith's book, DOM Scripting, that could get you moving in this direction. He also has a website...google search on javascript DOM slideshow.

I teach computer science at Miami University in Ohio. There are certainly stressful times (like the beginning and end of each semester), but in general not too stressful.

Thanks for the update Steve. The Ruby announcement was made back around March, so I keep thinking they are giving up on it. But the response you got shows it's still on the to do list.
