Thanks Martin. Thunderbird doesn't have a bounce function. Would forwarding
the message as an attachment do?


Without wishing to start a conspiracy theory but has anyone collected
stats on the mail-agents used to send spam. Up till a couple of months
ago most were Outlook but since then I have seen a dramatic increase in
the use of The Bat! to send spam. Obviously nothing to do with The Bat!
becoming a Microsoft Trusted Partner in July this year.
