Do you think this is an appropriate way for a *major* ISP to combat a virus (you might note a hint of sarcasm in my question there ;-) What next, block messages with the subject "hi"???
Another UK ISP -- supranet or something -- blocked my message to one of its customers because the subject included the horrifying word "free" and ergo had to be spam, case closed, and the firm's duty to serve mandated protecting her from my evil email. She and I were discussing the band named Free, and apparently this brilliant anti-spam measure had just been instituted, because my earlier messages to her had gone through without impediment.
I changed the subject line, remailed it, and suggested she take her business to a less paternalistic provider.
In some circles, "test" and "free" are four-letter words.
