Unless somebody codes them to do things that way, that won't happen. Computers
are not sentients who "know" what's right.

I don't. And I try to be careful when I reply here. I've not created a script

Ok, so you're saying that they're getting an error message because they were
careless when they replied? Good grief.

Then, you're should be more careful about where you send your message.

Now, do you have an extra insight on System Events ? Because that's the real
reason why I'm here. Not to discuss the intricacies of Apple's mailing system
or whether what I did was morally good or bad.
