[LINK] Apologies, but interesting info

My apologies for the test messages I have plagued the list with. Mind
you, you only saw two, and the numbering will have alerted you to how
many you *didn't* get.

It turns out that mailman (the list processor) doesn't like my GPG/PGP
signature! Having spoken to the list's technical admin person, it turns
out that Link filters on content type - and "application/*" is not
permitted. Messages containing "application/pgp" are silently discarded.

All the deathless prose I have contributed since I started using crypto
sigs many, many months ago has been lost. Dropped in the bit bucket with
not even a log message to mark its passing, or a rejection note to mourn
it by.

Tony - consider refining the filters to allow GPG/PGP sigs through -
it's not really OK in this day and age to block crypto sigs.

Regards, K.
