[Gloucs] mailheaders (spam problems)

[Guy Edwards]

Cheers for that Will,

Mails not something I've had a chance to learn yet (mailservers etc).
I'll get onto them as I hate spam.

Talking of email not being used properly... When I write to the group I
use an old email and just reply to it, so sorry for repeating the old
email at the bottom of the last post.

Guy
