This report is curious in the respect that the 'snoop/filtering'
reported seems to suggest that the agency/IPS is not concerned about
liability..?
I haven't incliuded the second message although i could forward it to
anyne who is interested...

Subject: Gateway content-snoop "warning" silliness?
I'm starting to get one of these with every Digest sent out for one of my
lists, which has a member @gateway.com.
My questions are:
(a) is it appropriate for them to be emitting these out for Digests that
arrive with "Precedence: bulk"?
(b) What happens if everybody starts doing this?
I didn't message Gateway's postmaster, btw, because I don't want them
collaring some poor shlub in Accounts Receivable and demanding to know why
she/he is using company computers to read a non-work related Digest. This
is its own meta-problem for many of us, I suspect.
