Hum... That's very complicated! Filter as much as possible admin
requests, without any single false positive... Well no, that seems
impossible with keywords: Would need scoring, IMHO. Anyway enhancing
this is badly needed, so we trust you ;-).

I'd say filtering out on charsets is not wise, and more generally
such single keyword filtering is a far from optimal technique.

No HTML globally, with a flaming notification of reason of post
rejection bounced.
BTW base64 CTE should be allowed, IMHO. It's sometimes not user
controlable (mailer or MTA config), or voluntary maybe to demonstrate a
bug, or to preserve some control chars in text, or such. And I can see
no usefull benefit in return for filtering.

Hum... I'd probably prefer the 110Ko limit that would have filtred
only obvious inadequates. But that's sowewhat too permissive? Go 50Ko?

What could be the intent? Anti-X-Face or such? Whatever: It catches
legitimate posts, so the method is bad.

This would break the thread: Better I'll trim my references (which
are folded anyway).

But way less, no? Only spam faking sender as member. Which does
happen, but is no majority?

A MU post quoting muttrc with (un)lists and (un)fhofpevor commands
will be catched?

Much thanks, Rado!
