Clever mail hacking

2000-11-23 by alt-mode

OK, someone needs to fess up.  The test in my last message was positive.  There is a
hack somewhere, that does word substitution on mail to this list.  I've noticed this
for awhile now but didn't test it out until last night.  Who's the clever one?

Hmmm, you're right. It seems that the archives are correct!  I guess I'll have to
bug the Yahoo folks...  Very strange.

For those who didn't see my test, what I'm seeing is that every time the word
"expressionist" is used in a message from the MOTM list, I see it as "statementist"
and I don't know why.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
