At its core this is an argument between pragmatism and principle. My principled side says that an alarming number of sites actually do use content filters and that they are a reality of email life and we should properly handle reality. My pragmatic side says that content filters are inherently and necessarily broken and like any other technical brain-damage, shouldn't be accommodated. As always, you get to choose. Currently I'm very happy with the principled side. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
