I got that at least 5 years ago, probably more, off the procmail list
(I believe, could be be wrong). I pretty much forbid anything
microsoft related.

Over the years I added to it every time some little microsoft
exploit came along, then I finally just started to /dev/null
the stuff. Eventually I just dropped hotmail, yahoo mail, etc into
the bit bucket as well as I don't receive mail from anyone who uses
web mail anyway. I also color code the mail clients used on mail lists
and most of the time I add those who use windows mail clients to my kill
files. Add to that those who use misconfigured opensource,
multi-platform clients (and those who push out html through gmail)
and my mailbox contains only the stuff I want to read.
