Jon,

That's not the only thing about it.  It also strips out any attachments
at all.  So while it does nice thing like strips out large images,
multi-megabyte PDFs (yes, I've actually been on a list where people 
tried to do that!), etc.. it also strips out things like the perl
script John Beimler sent this morning.  Before we do something like
this, it would be good to have a discussion about what exactly we
want to do.  Letting PGP signatures pass would be a good thing,
but would it also be a good thing to let other things through too?

Thanks very much for the offer, though.  I think, for the moment,
the answer to your question isn't either yes or no, but we should
ask the membership about it.  If you want to see what we're using,
though, the source rpm can be found at

Cheers,
Tanner

 This would be a very good time to hang out with the Open Source 
 people, before they get formally reclassified as a national security 
 threat. -- Bruce Sterling
