Well, he did say some worked and some didn't.  I'd be inclined to
provide samples of both, for analysis.

Don't have it installed, don't really like putting it on systems,
either.  I just had a quick scroll through the raw message (kind of
hard, considering the rather huge content).

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
