I would not care about filtering X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express.* You shouldn't use a mail reader with remote executing without authorization features. That's asking for problems. I don't care about people using it, those subscribed on this list should know about it. Even if you have to use that stupid non-free system for work you can use a normal mail reader. And no I'm not even going to argue about it, this is my only mail in this thread. > Just a thought.

Just like I said on the help-hurd lists, but maybe saying it in uppercase helps this time (also for the people not subscribed to help-hurd): SHUT UP ABOUT THE SPAM! Talking about spam is annoying as the spam itself. Also it doesn't fix anything. Contact the list administrators for filtering the spam or the ISPs sending those spam messages instead. And don't make me filtering all the subjects with "spam" in it. Oh, and this my only mail in this thread. Oh and for the people too stupid to find it out thereself: See http://www.debian.org/contact how to contact the listadmings.
