Otherwise, the mail is trapped and waits for moderation. And this rule should have an excemption for a subject starting with "PATCH" or "[PATCH". Fighting spam and bad manners makes sense.

I wouldn't be surprised if others simply decided to go away and not contribute anymore. Jörn -- It's just what we asked for, but not what we want! -- anonymous
