I understand your frustration, I hate it when that happens.  The first
time I saw any mention of your work was your commit... if I missed some
mention, I'm sorry.  However, Felix first put the plugin up on the Wiki
on 1/18 (with multiple revisions since then), this bug has been around
since 1/21 (with many comments), and I mentioned that I was working on
ReplaceTags on dev@ (on a thread in which you participated).

I also went through the entire list of bugs and marked the bugs I
thought the plugin would solve as blocked:

  bug 2166  new rule req: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  bug 2584  Subject obfuscation using punctuation
  bug 2886  new rule for VIAGRA_COMBO
  bug 2989  just suggestion about new rules...
  bug 3478  gappy_text is not catching new viagra ads: how about this?

and 3 other bugs got marked as duplicates:

  bug 2978  patch to add support for fuzzy matching
  bug 3125  [RFE] obfuscation character classes for rules
  bug 3255  Tag replacement inside the configuration files

If it makes you feel better, I forgot to move the ReplaceTags bug into
the 3.1 queue.  ;-)

Yeah, that's because none of the ReplaceTag rules have "<SP>", ".?", or
whatever included in them yet.  I'm trying to figure out an easier way
to interleave and do per-rule modifiers to make rule writing even
easier, but the gap should be easy to close on those rules.
