Sorry.  OK, in the future you won't be able to use the former Subject: line.
The LISTSERV CONTENT_FILTER for this list will discard the message.

Please also note that while LISTSERV can be configured to manage OOO and
similar messages that pass through it, messages that come directly from the
offending recipient back to you (your From: address of some recent prior
posting) do not pass through LISTSERV and thus LISTSERV cannot control them.

Be aware also that some organizations require their employees to use such
messages when they are out of the office, however much you, I, or they may
dislike such things.  Of course users afficted with such beasts should have
the courtesy to set themselves NOMAIL when they are away, but sadly not all
do, nor do they realize the need to do so.

As a short-time List Owner (only 13 years so far), I have found that a modicum
of tolerance and a slghtly thick skin can be useful attributes.  ;-)
