What about long-haired Iron Maiden fans? >^..^< I can understand blocking the Outlook users, and the people who couldn't be bothered to set a sane linebreak, and HTML-mailers, but attachments? If you did that to this list, I wouldn't be able to post, since Sylpheed makes an attachment for the GPG signature. I'm not fond of Republicans myself (though I think Democrats are just as bad, but for different reasons), but how would you enforce *that* ban? Then there's the fetchmail bit. I don't agree with everything ESR says, but banning fetchmail users because you disagree with ESR's politics seems a *bit* unreasonable to me. -- Matthew Graybosch http://www.starbreaker.net GnuPG Key ID: 0x45BC4581 "Sex, Unix, and rock 'n roll" -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 G! d- s:+ a-- C+++ UB++++ P+ L+++ E W++ N+ o K- w--- O- M-- V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP++ t 5 X R tv-- b++++ DI+++ D+ G++ e* h+ r++ y+ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ --=.(BSQ/W7hAKJtV1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE8M62jXG3c5kW8RYERAsLDAJ0SdK4RXL/LfoJ9QR4ziZY3i9UNYQCgnJZG lIK/nLx8e2kThhmWCEygRnk= =U0rA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.(BSQ/W7hAKJtV1-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
