Hmmm...I didn't *think* I included any forbidden words in those posts... O well. :-)
While we're still (sort of) on this subject, may I ask a question? I know that if
someone puts the no-no words (*subscribe*, *unsubscribe*, *help*, etc., sans
asteriks) in the subject line, the message will surely bounce to the list manager.
But, what about when these words are included in the body of the message? It seems
to me that if any of these words are in the first couple of lines of body text, the
message will still bounce. But, if the forbidden words are further down within the
post, it goes through to the list just fine.
I say all that to ask this: I'm assuming MajorD "scans" the beginning of the message
body text?
