I wonder how people's Bayesian filters / autolearners have responded
to the subjectless thread from Andrey Yashyn. I hit next-unread in
mutt's pager and as soon as the text came onto the screen my mental
spam filter gave it a large positive score. I thought it was another
Nigerian-type scam, in fact. I was just about to fire it off to
spamcop when I noticed that it was (a) short and (b) had a real 
request for Debian hidden in it. I wonder how many automatic systems
gave false positives?
