And if you run stats on those lists you will find the main user agent is
probably outlook. You have cited three mailing lists for MICROSOFT

I am on a number of lists, including - xen-users, arm-linux,
project-wombat (google it:p), linuxbierwanderung, and many others. ALL
of them have a policy of no top posting.
