Thank you for your suggestion. The filters which are in place on the List
are written using Regular Expressions​, a data processing concept with
which you may be familiar. If you can devise such a filter that will catch
all or even most of the "obvious, Nigerian Scams", please forward it to me
and I will be happy to implement it immediately.

Now, this is not to say that such a filter is not possible. I have to admit
I bear some fault because the first I knew of this message was when Jean
Ernest sent a warning to the List. Normally, if I had seen the actual
message first, I would have warned everyone. However the message never came
to my Inbox, because the filters on my Gmail account had sent it to my SPAM
folder. Perhaps I should find a Google moonlighter to whip up something.
Since a warning had already been sent I saw no need for redundancy, but I
did immediately remove the offending email address from the active
subscribers list.

Sometimes list administrators have other things to do in life than sit and
watch their list all day.
No filter is infallible.

In the future, don't pass those things on to the list, but just mention 
it in the subject line.  They could also contain a virus that would 
infect us all.  As a rule, I don't open anything if I do not recognize 
the sender.

Howdy,

Why did you ever print that crap "Urgent, need money" Nigerian Scam
letter?  What a load of manure.

Please filter such obvious scams.
Thanks,
