  Maybe there should be a Newsgroup called comp.dumb for those of
us who are programming illiterate.  I would like to know how to
change my header so that nobody can follow it, but at the same
time allow me to recieve email.
                                            Thanks

OK.. I'll bite.  What are you attempting to do? 

If you change the header so "nobody can follow it", whatever that
means, how will people be able to *send* you mail so you can receive
it?

If you gave people the wrong phone number, would you *care* if
your phone was able to receive calls?
