Rob: Mail Manipulation?

Hi Rob, as far as I understand, your program ListFilter checks each e-mail sent to the EUforum for several purposes: spam, offending speech, to large, to avoid advertisements, ..., and so on. This is ok for me and probably necessary. But I'm not happy with your 'policy' handling mails sorted out by ListFilter: NO e-mail should be published on EUforum manipulated by ListFilter without clear notice that it has been manipulated. Moreover, instead of distributing a manipulated email on EUforum, I would prefer that ListFilter returns the objected e-mail to the sender with some information about the objection, to give him the opportunity to send an enhanced, acceptable version for distribution. And: could ListFilter leave characters > 126 unchanged, or, in case Topica is unable to handle 8 bit characters, replace them by i.e. the '$' sign, so that everyone knows that characters > 126 were replaced? What is your and the other list members' opinion about this? Have a nice day, Rolf
