*Filtering and Security*
If you lack time or interest to follow some of the topics, ask
mdlug-newbie for suggestions on filtering mail automatically.
We welcome the many who listen silently, and invite them to post when
they wish to contribute either questions or answers.
We strip the reply to addresses from the headers of messages before putting
them in the archives.
Likewise, our archiving software quashes email addresses in the body of
messages, to make them difficult for spammers to harvest. However they
will still be human readable so you might want to consider this before
posting personal email addresses.
Have fun!
