    Looking at all my cached messages, I saw 9 including replies. Only 
one reply went through the mail server to reach me as shown by its 
headers (such as X-BeenThere: python-list at python.org). The most obvious 
non-reply *appeared* to be injected into usenet from Google Groups and 
today's "Boobies" was similar. If you are reading through usenet, spam 
messages are recognised and expired early - I don't know what mechanism 
is used for this.
