These people have brain dead filters setup so that they will never know that 
they are being annoying.  The only solution I see is for list moderators to

1. Block them from sign-up, with a special message explaining that their 
filters are too sensitive to work with normal internet traffic 
2. When a letter is received via snail mail confirming that they have fixed 
their filters, they can rejoin the e-world.
3. If they do not understand the problem, here is a web URL that has full 
details on the problem they cause by joining internet lists with settings 
similar to what they recently have had.
4. Warn other list moderators & perhaps have a black list of some companies 
that do this kind of harrassment of message lists.

did anyone contact Steve Turner at turnersg@drh.duhs.duke.edu ... I have been 
out of town myself for just under a week.

Perhaps David wants to add some "message police" of his own that looks for 
the phrase "I will be out of the office" then what it does is look for the 
2nd of 2 dates mentioned, and all e-mail to that person will intercepted 
until the 2nd of the 2 dates, then on the 2nd of the 2 dates, automatically 
send 1 mail to person telling them how to get their e-mail & how to rejoin 
the group.
