Notifications of replies I receive from WSGF always seem to carry a really lengthy message header which forces me to scroll well down into the message to get to the topic link. This is the only forum I'm subscribed to for which this happens.

I've removed my email address from the following, but the remainder is the complete message header for an example notification. It's obviously a spam filter of some description, but is it at my ISP or is it at the sending end? I have no local spam filtering in place other than that in MS Outlook, and Outlook lets everything else through without this crud included in it.

I'm puzzled.

I have a spam filter on the domain at the host. It helps keep down the mounds of spam I get through the account, and help ensure no one hi-jacks my domain for spam. I've never gotten a notification with such a huge header?

What email program are you using? Can you set whether it shows full headers?

I use Outlook, and can't find any settings which seem in any way relevent.

Anyways, as mentioned WSGF forum notifications are the only mail whatsoever for which this occurs.

ROFL

it should be in your profile...under
Always notify me of replies:
Sends an e-mail when someone replies to a topic you have posted in. This can be changed whenever you post.

Just turn it off,

unless you want notices in which case it could just be the way it sends the message.

skeeder, the whole point of the topic is that I want notifications, and am investigating why such messages from this specific forum come in such a way.

It's unusual behaviour

From the looks of things, it's Doreo's spamfilter, and one somewhere in your ISP.

You should see the headers I get on some of my university e-mail... :shock:

I've checked since posting last and, as I suspected, I don't actually have Spam filtering enabled on any of my ISP email accounts. The only thing I have active is the Junkmail feature of Outlook, and that doesn't add headers.

Edit: I've sent a query to my ISP, to confirm whether this comes from there or not.

I've set up a reply notification for this thread, to see what I get. So, someone reply.
