Ha, I knew someone would say that. But no, I do check the email trash bin
regularly (before emptying it) and so far no cctalk or cctech emails are
being diverted to there. My filter for them runs before the UTF-filter (last.)
I'm guessing it's an overly picky spam filter somewhere in the network
routes into Australia.

Except it turns out some feel that rejecting UTF-8 is culturally insensitive.
I agree they have a point. But for my practical purposes, all the 'UTF-8 in
header'
messages that end up in my trash folder are all, always, spam. I do check.
(And now someone's going to start posting cctalk messages with UTF-8 in Subject,
just watch.)
I see them because I'm using an old email client - Eudora 3 (1997.)
I stick with this specifically _because_ it doesn't understand UTF-8
or any other non-ASCII coding, especially in the header, and hence
simply ignores any executables in the headers or email body. Which
makes it totally virus proof, unlike Microsoft's intentionally
Totally say totally. open-backdoor
junk like Outlook. And most other email 'modern
wonders.' Eudora barely even understands html in emails, and I'm
fine with that. Also I have it configured to dust-bin any incomimg
mail containing UTF-8 chars in the Subject header. Avoids a lot of
time-wasting.

But first, I'm having a problem with some portion of cctalk posts
going missing, ie I don't receive all messages. The ratio seems to
vary day to day. Sometimes no obvious missing, sometimes a lot.
Still don't know why, or how to fix this. Any suggestions?
Turn off trashing mails with Unicode in Subject and see if this solves
a problem?
