    A nit: *Please* don't use "SPAM," in all upper-case, when referring-to
    unsolicited bulk email (UBE). "SPAM" is a registered trademark of the
    Hormel Foods Corporation, who have been awfully good about the use of
    the word "spam," to mean UBE. They ask only that folks use "spam" to
    mean UBE and "SPAM" when referring-to their fine meat product :).

    See: http://www.spam.com/ci/ci_in.htm for more info.

    Regards,
    Jim
