Hi Folks, An old theme, but surely it's time something was done! 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%). This makes it a real pain to hunt back through the archives for messages/threads one wants to revisit, and expecially to search for ones with a possibly relevant subject-line for a topic one is interested in. However, we don't seem to get this junk actually mailed to us by the list, yet it goes into the archives none the less. If it can be filtered out before being mailed to subscribers, why can't it be filtered out before going into the archives? Just curious ... Best wishes to all, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <Ted.Harding@nessie.mcc.ac.uk> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 03-Aug-06 Time: 23:01:02 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------
