Sometimes the Yahoo Spam filter pushes it there > for some unknown reason. <Snipola> I've mentioned this quite some time ago, but I wish this list prefixed something like "[SeeSat]" to the beginning of the subject line so we can easily make a filter to automatically permit such messages. Many other lists I am subscribed to as well as some newsgroups do this (manually of course) so that users can more effectively filter against spam without these false positives. Some software only has basic filtering capability that only works on a handful of headers. All at least work on "Subject:" and/or "From:". Occasionally I get messages from the list that do not have anything "seesat" except in some obscure header like "Return-Path:" or one of the X headers. Not all software is capable of filtering on these headers. This seems to happen mainly to messages that have multiple recipients. So, the real question is, does the list software allow this? If so, I see no real reason not to implement it. Those who do not use filters would not be impacted while allowing those who do to take advantage of the feature.
