Aha, you too!  Got one like this, did you?

IMHO, this is completely unacceptable behavior for a subscriber in response 
to email sent thru this list.  I can possibly understand having this policy 
in place for email being sent directly to the subscriber (not thru the 
list), but not for list email, and particularly not for email from *this* 
technical list.  If you want to play around with stupid filters and forget 
to first whitelist your mailing lists, go play somewhere else, like on 
groups.yahoo.com.
