Just a head's up to list participants.

Our company like many uses a spam filter service to manage our email
traffic.

If you include anything in your message to the list that might be
interpreted as sex-related or excessively commercial, there is a good
chance that list members won't receive it.

For example, over the last couple of days there has been a message thread
whose subject included multiple "x" characters.  Since in the West that is
code for sex, our spam filter intercepted the original message and every
reply.

I'm sure we're not the only ones using such a service, so a little more
thought put into what you actually write might help ensure that list
participants actually receive your message.

Thanks.
