With some limitations.

Most of the mail nowadays is posted by robot posters, with cooking and some
others the exception, rather than the rule.

I do that to prevent myself from being misquoted or misunderstood.  In the
latter, some people interpret things according to the emotional baggage
they're carrying at the time and react accordingly, instead of asking for
clarification.

The ablity to do that has always been included in D'Bridge, along with many
other features.
