Spam-trapping (was Fwd: grant for antonio)

[Aidan Karley <aidan_karley@yahoo.co.uk>]

    A (perfectly reasonable) message to DML triggered the spam
detectors at Yahoo. If I hadn't been checking the spam box (which I
don't do often because I scrape the Yahoo account into an offline
reader), I'd have missed it.
    This may be an argument (or datum at least) in favour of dealing
with *administrivia* concerning funding procurement away from the
general list. (I'm not talking about justification/ setup of any such
organisation, but routine administration.)
