Thank you information.  Since python.org is mostly stuff other than the 
mailing lists, I did not think of that.  Adding it to the CC line for this 
reply.

Is that hardwired into Spambayes or can it be edited.

Then my 'misdirected' query will have worked anyway.  Thank you.

My embargoed reply, which I believe I sent Sunday, was released 
mid-Thursday.

Fewer false positives would make life easier for everyone.  Perhaps a 
whitelist of regular and long-terms posters would help.  I think most or 
all of the 4 people who responed 'me too' would also qualify.

What still puzzles me is why the spamblocker that embargoed me and others 
did not catch such obvious spam as Subject: Re: The penis is way too 
delicate for masturbation (and occasional others like this).  If you need a 
regular c.l.p reader to forward missed spam for addition to the training 
base, I would volunteer.
