There are one or two mailing lists that originate on GG, and I don't
apply the rule to those lists.

True. But if they persist in posting via a well-known span-conduit
that's also famous for various other breakages, then I don't see how
they can be too surprised that not everybody sees their posts.
I occasionally disable that rule, and it's never seemed like I was
missing anything valuable.

Even if they were nicely formatted, I'd still probably plonk GG posts
just to avoid the garbage.
