Hello Leif,

On Thu, 5 Aug 2004, Leif mused about "Mod: Top posting (was: Limiting
BayesIt to scan only unknown mail)" (at least in part):

LG> Hello Michael,

LG> This posting violated the list rules regarding top posting.

LG> Thank you.

Must be a BAT! bug.  I did not top post.  Oh well.  That is what I get
for using Beta software.
