At the last go-around of this topic (how to reduce the spam problem) I proposed appending CPUNK to messages. Appending a tag has much better properties than prepending. It doesn't break sorting by subject line, it is automatically in the correct position in replies, and is generally less intrusive. All tags are ugly, but some are worse than others. I still occasionally add CPUNK to my subject lines (as I did in this message) Have we finally beaten Mr. Assymetric into silence? Peter Trei

The problem with that, or at least openpgp.net, is that the software also strips the header, so that you have no way to filter the toad.com crap, and thus, the spam.
