Wouldn't it be nice if the mailinglist software were hacked to enforce
some rules?

      * reject all HTML email
      * reject any mail with more quoted text than original text
      * reject any mail that starts a totally new subject but 
               threads to a different unrelated one.
               eg. has references, but new subject with no "(was: oldsubject)" 
      * reject any mail that has "re: " or the same subject line as
               other msgs, but no references.  (This one needs to be done
               very carefully.)
