Well, overquoting is easy  to slip into, and I am always being reminded
to cut it dowen to the essecially required parts. sigh. And the sigfile
has been edited as you see below.

but I am devloping tinylist, and some users of it NEED to  have security. 
Granted that some lists do not demand this, and it is not for them 
important, but I have to take into account that SOME users WILL need it.

I saw one MLM which stuffed the entire list of recipients into the TO: 
field. Big bad idea. Not only does it give away lots of addresses, it also 
can (on a large list) exaust the available space for the headers.
