doubt is something you want to avoid. Annoying though it is, a huge volume
of spam comes from countries with different character sets and the more
fascist spam engines will weigh it heavy, especially as the charset of the
mail doesn't necessarily match the charset of the from section.
Anyway, that's all nice and disjointed thoughts that may or may not be
useful.

Hi Dick,<br><br>2009/11/18 Dick Thomas <<a href=3D"mailto:xpd259 at gmail.c=
om">xpd259 at gmail.com</a>><br>><br>> there was n issue with the mai=
ling list filtering emails with an pgp<br>> attachment to spam but that =
"should" be fixed now.<br>
<br>Yes but there was no pgp attachment to Alices mail and whilst I'm q=
uite happy to suspect Google's spam filter was just being over-zealous,=
it is extremely unusual for that to happen and other occurrences have been=
reported of mail not getting through...<br>
