Not necessarily -- it depends on your point of view. I've always thought of the "To:" line as an address, not a salutation. In other words, an instruction to the email system as to where to send the message, not the name of the recipient. Putting a person's name in there at all seems to me a sop to computer-illiterate wimps who go all wobbly at the knees when they see anything as esoteric-looking as an email address. :-) Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, +--------------------------------------+ University of Canterbury, | A citizen of NewZealandCorp, a | Christchurch, New Zealand | wholly-owned subsidiary of USA Inc. | greg@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz +--------------------------------------+
