oddball TLUG messages found in my spam trap

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

My spam trap checks for odd junk in subject lines.  I happened to look
at the failing messages and notice two TLUG messages.

| Message-ID: <4953EC5E.12331.546CB77-TElMtxJ9tQ95lvbp69gI5w at public.gmane.org>
| Subject: Re: [TLUG]: Re:Re:Re:Teacher tells students Linux is  â?illegalâ? and confiscates their copies
| X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (4.41)

In case you cannot see it, here is part of the subject with illegal
characters expressed as octal escapes:
  \303\242\302\302illegal\303\242\302\302

In my opinion, these are crap and the senders should stop doing this.
But maybe I'm wrong -- there might be an excuse.

I'm guessing that the second message's subject crap was created by gmail
trying to deal with the first message's crap.  Yuck.
