Well, I've had overzealous mail list program filter stuff out on the
Mandrake/Mandriva lists from time to time, and others have too. Let's
not have an overzealous filter.

If you don't filter simply on subject, you have to filter on body, and
then it gets hairy. Over on the mandriva lists, there were whole sets
of words that you could not use -- or had to misp3ll :) in order to get
past the filter. I've had a few messages bounce because of their
filters, and I'm a fairly light poster, although I tend to lurk a lot.
