So do I.  I'm lucky in that my ISP provides full SMTP support, so I can
create as many email ids on my dial-up account as I want.  I've
created leicas@isham-research.demon.co.uk specifically to receive this
mailing list, and all the [Leica] string does for me is reduce the
visible part of the subject to nine characters.
