For better or worse, well-informed sources have also leaked the
following:

* Isreal's Mossad is scanning for capitalization to assess people's IQ;

* Germany's BND is scanning for vowels in order to measure the amount of
  Aryan content in a mail;

* MI5 is looking for ASCII art to eliminate the last surviving
  Thatcherites.

May I therefore suggest the following (it's for your own good, honey,
trust me...):

OT: Exclamation marks.

FYI,

  The US Secret Service uses a formula devised by a psyciatrist to
determine the danger level someone poses by their use of exclamation
marks.  Specifically, the number of exclamation marks they use to make a
point. So, I suggest that this list filter out those messages that have this
characteristic for everyone's safety.
