I've configured the list to prefix the the string "ltp:" to the subject
field, so that it is easier for you all to determine what is coming from

the list as a general post, and mails that are directly addressed to
you.

This mail's subject was sent as "Test & Request" but should reach
you all as "ltp:Test & Request". I hope so at least. If not then please
excuse me if I send more "test" mails until it works.

So now to the request, there was a mail sent which contained a
certain profane word "f**ked", it does not bother me but it
did bother a couple of mail gateways that bounces the original
mail and the replies that quoted it:

>>> DATA
<<< 550 Banned text appeared in body text: 'f**k'

So please in future keep away from using this kind of language
to express your anger/dismay about something, and if you really
feel that it is the best way of expressing your feelings then do
me the favour of replacing some of it with "*"s (or the like).
Your message should then get to all of the members of this list.

Thank you,

Bill
