Ok, I'm subscribed to the list using my "home" email address, but I

do work for an ISP (yours, as it happens, but this is my personal

opinion - see sig).


My advice would be a very simple "don't". However good your

intentions are, there will always be one person (and that's all

it'll take) to complain to abuse@ about UCE and, believe me, it

isn't worth the grief it causes.


Why not, in your next (snail) mailshot, stick in a card asking

people to visit your web site and register for further info there ?


Sorry this probably isn't what you wanted to hear :-(
