Nah...
All it will do is piss someone like me off...
First thing I'd do if even a damned footer of one of my mails was deleted
would be targeting a mailbomber towards the mailing list, and thus causing
everyone registered to it to have their POP servers explode.
I'd prolly set it on auto, and from the moment I'd boot up to the moment I'd
shut down thousands of messages would be targeted at everyones mailbox at
the speed of light automatically in the background, while I'd go about my
daily routines....
Don't fuck with people you don't understand.
