Replying to my own earlier message about administrivia  checks....

     "I think only checking the first word of each line would 
     eliminate a lot of false alarms.  And I feel that reducing the 
     number of lines from five to three probably wouldn't hurt 
     anything."

After some thought I realized that checking only the first word would still 
let a lot of things through.  Like "How do I unsubscribe...."  Maybe the 
'subscribe' and 'unsubscribe' should be intercepted anywhere in the line, but 
the other commands only when they appear first.  Can anyone think of any other 
exceptions?

Also, maybe the first N *non-blank* lines should be subject to the checks.  Or 
is this the way it's already done?  I admit I haven't looked yet.
