I rarely see a subject I can't read the whole of in a single line anyway, though. > If you want to filter it out, don't do it by hand, that's what computers > are for. > That's not the problem, though. The occasional problem is not accidentally thinking "oh, that's spam" and deleting a post because you don't recognise the poster and the subject line looks vaguely spamlike. And the spammers have found ways of dealing with bayesian filters by now. If I whitelist and then scan through a spam folder once in a while that makes things even worse, because the proportion of spam in the spam folder is that much higher. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Society does not owe people jobs. Society owes it to itself to find people jobs. _______________________________________________ Haskell-prime mailing list Haskell-prime@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime
