Hmm, likely questions for the SMF-SAV list, but looking through my MW 
current messages I wonder how SMF-SAV handles the many messages from web 
forms my users get, IE "nobody at some-webserver.com"?

(I am constantly needling our developers to fix those when I see them. I 
flat refuse to turn up a new website until I can reply to anything that 
comes off a webform ;^)

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
