Uh, I shouldn't be!

Anything with a sender field containing freebsd should be caught as
belonging to the list and filed accordingly.  

Poking through my backup folder, I found an article you sent this
morning, where you replied to an article by John Birrell, where he
outlines a 12 step program...

Resubmitting it to procmail... hmmm, that worked correctly!

OK, found it.

Somehow, dispite not being logged in as root, emacs sent my reply as
root.  

You cc'd me (root), causing a copy of the article to show up here
directly first.  The direct article didn't have the Sender: field, and 
wasn't addressed to me.  Thus, it was treated as Spam (unfortunately,
I do get a lot of spam)

Anyway, I fixed my filters, so that mail addressed to root (which is
forwarded to me) also makes it through the filters.

Sorry about that!
