Ok. If you think of a better example then please throw it my way. The
email address on this posting sporadically works, *most* real messages are
not lost amongst the spam though it's well and truly overdue for a change.

I just wanted my nose rubbed in the problem Fred's on about as I have not
experienced it in a way I find off putting, and that's even though I
hardly bother with any sort of filtering. If he's serious and it really is
thoroughly blameable on specific irresponsible servers then I can't see
why there isn't a point and click instant cure that is less bother than
initialising OE to install. A mini nntp server/cache/filter would be an
easy enough project if required, and it is nearly holiday time..

If he's not serious, and it is a case of excuse making or throwing a bit
of a paddy at some minor irritation then I will just shrug it off and
continue in my belief that filters are for those who would rather not see.
