I received the same spam. And I did not know that this list was
being archived (other than by interested members). Will the standard
X-archive directive prevent this? (Some so-called "archive" systems
ignore it). I get enough junkmail as it is, due to my outspokenness
in certain newsgroups -- I think of this list as a bit of a break.
