For reasons that don't matter here, I recently sent myself an email without a "Subject:" header. It very nearly fell into my spam traps, escaping with a score of 4.9 (where 5.0 and up is treated as spam). One of the tests it failed was "Subject [should not be, but is] all in capital letters". Evidently, the test looks at each letter of the header, and if there are any non-capital letters, the test is passed forthwith: if the test gets to the end of the header without detecting a non-capital-letter, it fails. Now, was it correct to report "Subject all in capital letters" when there were no characters of any sort in the "Subject:" header? By the non-import definition of "ro", yes, it was. By common sense and Aristotle, the report was nonsense. -- Real FORTRAN programmers can program FORTRAN John Cowan in any language. --Allen Brown jcowan@hidden.email
