I apologize if you get multiple copies of this message. I have sent it to all unique email addresses found in my email archives for the last two years and eight months. This was about 40 megabytes of text with a total of 6,500 addresses found in To fields, 3,300 in From fields, and 1,500 in Cc fields. Of course, there was considerable overlap and I was also able to eliminate some addresses manually, so this message is being sent to 5,396 addresses. Unfortunately, there are most likely cases where the same person is on the list multiple times under slight address variations. I could find no simple way of pruning the list any further (eliminating duplicate userid's disregarding the hostname would not work - e.g., there are five different johnson@something on the list, representing four different individuals).
Only 40 meg in 2 years?
