Hi,

FWIW, the which element that is a part of majorcool is, IMHO, on the mark 
for nearly all of the things I'm expecting to encounter.

As per prior advice, I turned "which" down to a max of 5 results. Then 
anyone snooping for an address listing would have to do plenty of work to 
find an address list. Often, I just turn which off. With MajorCool 
working well, I think I'll turn off which all the time.

As I understand it, with majorcool, one has to start by typing in an 
email address. Then that person can WHICH on that address. But, since 
this is all with a web interface, it works well, only for web folks.

For an example: 
http://www.sportsurf.net/majorcool/majorcool.cgi

A potential snag with mcool happens in the instance when a person is 
getting email and the exact address isn't known. Most folks would have a 
clue as to what address(es) that they are/were using. A system 
administrator might not however. :/ When this happens, the mj which is 
still needed. But, most of the time a user with WWW can get along well 
without which by using majorcool, IMHO.
