oops.. yes, I see it now.  I should have spotted that earlier.  Sorry
about the list noise.

I have never subscribed to anything via nabble.  ^Zcat blessings | wc -l

Agreed.. and I won't waste my time with nabble.  I'll just set
procmeil to file new threads from nabble into a "penalty box" for now
and start a whitelist.  Perhaps I'll come up with something more
elegant/automated later.

So, I guess my "feature request" is "resolved".
