And as usual with anti-spam measures, this facility is badly thought
out. It requires that one use a web url to allow email. This violates
the design principle of keeping communications and their responses in
the same channel, so that those souls with only email access can
still respond. Doing so also simplifies response for those of us
using pure email clients instead of combination web exploders and
email messers like IE/Outlook or Netscape Communicator.
As matters stand, if I get one of these, I just ignore it and figure
it's the other party's loss, not mine.
If anyone on Earthlink is reading, forward my remarks to them.
