Actually I didn't even mean to send those attachments.  That was just
my attempt at making the commercial detection more readable (and
hopefully a bit more accurate).  It was in the course of developing
this patch that I realized the fundamental flaw in the approach.  When
I first drafted the message with the attachments I was doing it
simultaneously with drafting the patch, and was going to submit my
'fix'.  I just forgot to remove the attachment.

While it might make the system a bit more accurate, it too will most
likely not work.
