Thanks a lot for the help; I've finally installed Thunderbird, but as for
the config file users.js, I've added the user_pref command line, but
Thunderbird doesn't seem to recognize it.
Since I'm used to Outlook, Thunderbird seemed to me a bit complicated so I
don't know where to look for what went wrong (actually I'm still using
Outlook though my plan was to switch completely)
About the yahoo filter, I've sent a few emails and haven't received the
notice anymore, maybe they finally whitelisted me or maybe I'm just no loger
being notified...
Again, thanks

Asunto: Re: Newbie - help
The mail clients I know that are or were capable of adding "headers" to a
plain
text message are pine, eudora, and mozilla based mail clients. Since you
prefer
free and your OS is windows XP, mozilla/thunderbird or UW PC-Pine mail
client is
probably your best match.
An article on about.com provides the following tidbit of useful information:
http://email.about.com/cs/mozillatips/qt/et030604.htm
To add custom headers to emails in Mozilla or Netscape:
* Open your user.js configuration file in an editor.
* Add 'user_pref("mail.compose.other.header", "{custom headers}");'.
o Replace {custom headers} above with a comma-separated list of
the headers you want to be available.
* o "Sender,X-Y" adds the Sender: and X-Y: headers, for example.
* Save the file and close the editor.
You still have to enter the values for the headers manually when creating
messages in Mozilla or Netscape.
What this means, is that you can follow the instructions to create a custom
header called "Approved", then when you compose messages, you can select
this
header and add the value (your list password), before hitting send.
As for your "too many recipients" message from Yahoo,
first, majordomo IS a list management software
second, the problem must be solved outside majordomo
An MTA is what gives/takes messages to/from majordomo. The MTA is also what
makes connections to other ISPs/domains MTA to deliver email. Your provider
either needs to contact and make arrangements with Yahoo to accept messages
with more than "X" number of recipients, or add a program like bulk_mailer
or TLB in between majordomo and the local MTA to split up the number of
Yahoo
users that will be included in a single email.
