Agreed. Although I would use the work "refined" not censored.

Interestingly, Yahoo lists did an excellent job of stripping out such 
crapola and serving up useful ASCII. The other commercial mailing list 
services [Google, etc] don't offer it at all AFAIK.

But Yahoo has been "improving" things... they call it NEO. As part of a 
larger disaster, they have removed that feature.
