Is there something there that nfilter/NewsProxy "sees" as code??

Weird.


Maybe this nfilter method is just too complicated ... ?

I simply use the filters in Thunderbird. Ok, that axes all google
groupers, can't help it. But it reduces spam to about one a day. I can
live with that.

Turned out the message was all one extremely long line of Excel code,
choking nfilter.

I white-list a number of "good-guy" googlegroup posters.

But eliminate some leftist/Euro-weenie pains-in-the-ass ;-)

I see NO spam.

Just to make sure, i will repeat: nfilter/NewsProxy does not read
message bodies, only headers. I have read the code. (the code is very
clean and rather pretty by the way. It would make a great piece of
example code for students, small, useful, and no silly nonsense.)


So why does nfilter consistently barf on this message?

I know nfilter doesn't look in the body, but the "References" header
allows me to kill follow-ups.

Where can I view a copy of the source code? Maybe I can bribe my son
to add some features ;-)

It can be found here:

My WinZip doesn't like that file.
