See, the thing is I'm not proposing moderating the content.  I'm
talking about things like HTML emails, Out of Office Replies, messages
crossposted across all the lists.

I agree with what you are saying, but that isn't what I was proposing :)

You're right though, most of that could probably be automated.  See my
