i will not stop my e-mail work flow to use a web browser and cut/paste. [...]. the imposition you'd be asking is way more than the good will i've got on hand.I'm generally on board with this sentiment.
Me too. But paypal is hardly alone in this; I just got another - and, like Paul's, it can't seem to make up its mind whether it's an ignorebot or not: [many other headers snipped]

The message has been received by abuse () eastlink ca, however, it has not been displayed. The reason given for not displaying the message was the following: Thank you for contacting EastLink. This is an automatic response. Please select the following link to submit all abuse reports. http://abuse.eastlink.ca/ We still accept abuse mail that is addressed to abuse () eastlink ca, but we have found that we were not getting all of the information that is required to investigate and resolve abuse reports.
First it says they aren't reading it, then it says they do accept it. (I suppose these technically aren't in conflict - they accept it but don't "display" it - but in context I think they are.) I sent them a note pointing out the conflict. We'll see if I get a non-canned response; in at least one past case, doing so did draw a non-canned reply agreeing that the wording could use some touchup, so there is hope (though perhaps not much hope in paypal's case :-รพ). /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents-montreal org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
