[Johnson, Robert F] Thanks for your reply. I had ok_locales set to all but didn't have ok_languages explicitly set. I think that is ok since the default value is supposed to be all. Based on spt checking of a couple of dozen examples, I didn't see any significant pattern of out of the box rules being involved, mostly SARE or WIKI rules. The most heavily implicated were the following: (MANGLED and SARE_SUB_CASH_CHAR were probably had the biggest impact. SARE Rules SARE_SUB_CASH_CHAR SARE_RAND_2 WIKI Rules MANGLED_LIST MANGLED_LIPS J_CHICKENPOX_12 J_CHICKENPOX_22 HTML_BACKHAIR_4 Out of the Box: GAPPY_SUBJECT FREE_SAMPLE OBSCURED_EMAIL Rob
