[DCN-TechOps] Re: SPAM tagging

[Steve McMahon]

Hi Jack,

I've cc'd the TechOps, since this question probably deserves multiple minds.

My thought is that the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" is sufficient. I believe that 
all recent-vintage email clients allow filtering on arbitrary headers. 
In fact, I used to do so with Eudora before I switched to Mozilla.

Also, I'm worried about liability issues potentially involved with 
changing subject lines.

Other thoughts?
