I am seeing things like the quoted text below in my feed. I use
eternal-September so maybe I am seeing Spam Assassin stuff. I know I
have not been able to see one or two of my posts that others have seen.

I use Thunderbird as newsreader and am not having any luck yet in
pulling "other" criteria out of the customizable filters. I'm going to
play with that today.
I am also adding these extra lines to see if my message DOESN'T get
caught up in SA.
If what was said previously is true, quoting a message that quotes text
that goes 6 deep in other messages and just adding "I agree" to your
message will trip the eternal-september SA filter.
Is anyone else seeing message header data in any of the messages they
are reading?
