Looking at Mark's original e-mail, I note that he had a weblink at the bottom to his filk page. Maybe that was the deciding factor? If an e-mail contains certain words *and* a weblink, then it crosses the programs threshold for being spam? Alternatively, maybe it's the *count* of certain words - once might be forgivable, but "bimbo" occuring four times (five in this e-mail) is considered spam? Well, allow me to experiment a bit. Here is the text of the song again, with no weblink. Let's see if this e-mail gets bounced or not. ----------------------- >There's a bimbo on the cover of my book >Maya Bohnhoff >(to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It, Clap Your >Hands") >There's a bimbo on the cover of my book. >There's a bimbo on the cover of my book. >She is blond and she is sexy, >She is nowhere in the text, she >Is the bimbo on the cover of my book! > [more but I don't know it]
