You know I swore that I took off the headers at the top and it didn't
make a difference to what came out.  I tried it again and it comes out
as straight ascii.  I should run my posts to BF thru BF before sending
them.

The corrections are at
	http://ladro.com/bf/
Which show them to be harmless pages.  For example
	http://ladro.com/bf/20020123-03-decoded.txt
is just some html tags not enclosed in <HTML></HTML> tags:

I ran the decoded ones through bogofilter and they don't cause it to
hang (I wouldn't of posted if they did) and they do register as spam.
