Fellow Users -

I just rejoined this list, having run Mojo lists for 4 years now
on arts and ecology issues.  Apologies if these are repeat questions,
I am grateful for any replies.

1. When scanning for taboo headers, I'm assuming that each regexp is
applied to each header individually, and not to the entire block of
headers at once.  I am also assuming that the 'Subject:' is treated
as another ordinary header.

Let's say you don't want richard posting on Saturdays, you can't 'taboo'
something like the following, in pseudocode ...

	"From:" ... "richard" AND "Date:" ... "Sat"

Any attempt like the above will fail because from / richard / date / sat
will never ALL appear on the same header line at once, except possibly
as a very unlikely subject.  The following then are both correct?

	a. The taboo filters are resolved 1 header line at a time.
	b. Subject: is handled like any other header line.

2. Have multi-part's been an issue here, especially regarding WORD
files, HTML etc bloating your digests?  I have had good success by
'taboo'ing 'attachment' and 'multi-part' in our headers.  Now those
multi-part postings don't make it onto the list and subsequent digest!

3. Any rumors afloat of significant 2.x updates of Mojo in the works?
Just wondering.  Majordomo has been a big part of my life in recent
years and I am personally very grateful to the great GreatCircle folks.
