Sssh! It is a little known secret that ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org exists
primarily as a diversion. By making ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org completely
accepting of crappy content and lame mail software, we hope
to seduce spam and virii away from WG mailing lists where all
the *real* work is done.
At least, that's the only faintly logical reason why attempts
to impose sane filtering on this list always seem to be shouted
down.
