Plant-ed spam

[Jon Monroe]

Plant-ed;

Yesterday I asked the biosci administrator what was happening 
regarding electronic spam filtering.  He replied:

In addition to hopefully reducing the number of unwanted messages we 
receive, I suspect that this may affect how some of us subscribe or 
unsubscribe from Plant-ed or other biosci newsgroups.  I will let you 
know what is happening as soon as I hear anything.
