Ha!  Just to show you how well modern technology works, David mentioned
a few of those magic words in his mail and see what my ISP's SPAM
filtering did (see above).  We can choose to have these message DELETED
FROM THE SERVER END or HELD ON THE MAIL SERVER for review (delete or let
them come through) or we can select to have all mail come through but
have suspected SPAM labelled as per the above so we can filter it on our
own machines.

As you can see, it is sensitive to the word VIAGRA (and hence this mail
when it comes back will also be tagged like this).
