   Given the content of the spam I've been receiving lately, I was
considering using something like this:

   :0:
   * ^Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit$Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit$
   spam

   Then I found out the (apparently valid) followup to the above
message matches the same recipe:
...
<a message from the procmail list here>
...
   So my question is: how safe is the above recipe?  Does MS LookOut!
add two "Content-Transfer-Encoding:"s these days?  Other comments?

The duplicate CTE: headers are added by a particular version (8.9.1,
I think) of sendmail during certain MIME conversions.  It appears that
campino.informatik.rwth-aachen.de is running the broken version.
