Uh, right.  Patches and other program fragments.  (Some) Japanese
writing in English.  ASCII art.  Thirteen year old girls who an't
(yet) dot their i's with hearts in email getting the point across with
(mis)spelling.

I really don't care about the false negatives I have to deal with.
It's the mail from people I _want_ to correspond with that gets thrown
away that really pisses me off.
