I thought about doing this, but I
suspected it might not work, or it might
mess up attachments or something.

Anyway, I've now added a filter for:
    =   equals three dee (becomes equals)
and
        equals two zero (becomes one blank)

We'll soon find out if it works or not.
I can't test it properly myself because
I don't have the problem.
