duh! You argue over bandwidth due to sigs >4*80, and
other ppl here are QUOTING SIGS which is much worse,
and even the kcsf-ing LMKL footer.
And yep I have a .sig which I don't use on LKML due
to bandwidth.

Another point: look at the headers. I'd like LKML to
strip all these X- thingies, the "Received:" etc.
so that the messages I get have a bare minimum header
consisting just of To: and Subject: (maybe MIME).

What you have todo is to learn how to configure your mailer to display
headers you want. elm and balsa can do it. Do not know about Outlook...
(btw, it is curious, mailing to lkml with outlook...)

Outlook express is different from outlook.  Outlook doesn't let you
look at the mail headers.  Outlook express doesn't, but doesn't display
them by default (iirc, you need to look at the message properties).

PS, you can't remove Received: headers at source - they are added by
each hop on the mails journey across the Internet.

Not the displaying annoys me, it's the traffic. The headers usually are
less than multiple quoted sigs, though.

I'm not the only one. I prefer telnet but its cut&paste is broken, so
I can't reply. But OjE shows no extra headers for me, just they go
through
the 31kbps phone line :(

Headers serve a technical purpose.  So for example adding Received: headers
is a MUST according to RFC 2822, 3.8.2:

3.8.2 Received Lines in Gatewaying

   When forwarding a message into or out of the Internet environment, a
   gateway MUST prepend a Received: line, but it MUST NOT alter in any
   way a Received: line that is already in the header.

Similar for the other headers; basically all of them cannot be removed
without loosing functionality or putting the reliability of the mail
system at stake.  Let me just say mail loops ...

Hi,

There are a couple of situations where I need to limit bandwidth on some 
of my machines. Can anyone share some solutions they have used? Here are 
a couple of examples of what I am trying to accomplish:

    * Limit bandwidth to certain ftp sites from localhost.
    * Establish a maximum bandwidth for any connection transiting the
      firewall/router.

Thanks.

Andy
