Likewise. Your message left the impression that one couldn't read a 
message with a bug in it without revealing your address, or the fact 
that it was read. I was pointing out that indeed it could be read, 
the bugs are not reliable (or desirable, IMHO), and it's possible to 
open up such messages safely if you're using certain e-mail software 
(Eudora in this example; I'm sure there are others, too).
