As we know, the proportion of spam junk in the list archives is high. For example, out of almost 400 messages this month, some 175 are spam (44%).
Not true.
They say SPAM in the subect due to some overly aggressive tagging by the list hosting machine. But they are not in fact spam. Look at them and you will see.
I would say look again and count them. This has been asked so many fscking times it is pathetic and has -ALWAYS- fallen on deaf ears. I guess Novell does hire the handicaped as the list admin for this list -NEVER- responds to any requests for help, either on list or directly. Aint going to happen ever, never in the past, not this year or ever so don't ask for the SPAM messages to be removed. The archives have become a useless pile of dog dung, so hopelessly useless I never recommend to anyone any more. When you have to weed through 50-60% useless SPAM messages why bother!
That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

Chill. That was the way it used to be. Check out Henne's email from 7/14/06, #276825. http://lists4.opensuse.org The new email lists will have all that true spam removed and any real messages with spam in the subject line will be left alone. All the email will be searchable. It is being actively worked on. Stan
