Urgent, being used as spam relay Please Help!

Hi,

Please stop putting the word Urgent  in your mails. My GSM starts 
beeping for that! (SMS-messages).

Anyway, since it probably is an urgent matter you are forgivven....

Have a look at http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~ca

It implements quite well and works great.

Good luck!

Thought for the day:
    The only thing that hurts more than paying income tax
    is not having to pay income tax.
