There was a slight problem with acknowledgements where there was no Subject: header - but I managed to persuade the author of the software to alter it for me (he lives in the same house :-)). [0]Most of the invalids have been seen before, there was a surprisingly high number of spamblocks and I will repeat once again - I will not piddle about removing them. If you spamblock your mail and send a ballot then it will not get counted. Now for this times new feature :-) [1]The References: header indicates that the ballot has been discarded as the References header does not match a CFV message, or a message sent by the votetaker. Unfortunately, many mailers don't use this rather nice feature. *sigh* [2] Just mailing a message, "I vote for this" is not valid. -- Iain D.
