For some reason, I don't see Jeff's email. But now that I am getting a
handle on configuring OE at work for non-company email (which itself could
make an interesting OT post), and I recomposing rules I took for granted at
work and at home, I have finally added a rule that drops OT: email into its
own folder. Truth be told, I'm not missing it so much.

Of course, there's the problem of those who mangle the OT:. I still see
those.

The only issue I have is that we have no tag for tangential topics, such as
configuring OE for non-company email, potentially interesting to a larger
audience than protracted discussion of "why my candidate has won every
single debate with that spawn of Satan, just as I knew he would", but still
not quite on-topic. For instance, I've noticed that when I route outbound
mail through my account on some other SMTP server (spamcop does not provide
an outbound server), the header gives both that server's domain name, and my
user name. It's not rocket science from there for spammers to reconstruct
the two, and rederive one of my private email addresses. But is that a
serious risk?
