Agreed. But if you (and other anonymous posters) are going to continue to
reply to him or other unproductive kooks, would you please put their
addresses somewhere in the headers of your messages (perhaps in the To: or
Cc: or Subject:) headers so that the rest of us who are using killfiles
won't have to read your replies?

	all the remailers I know strip the headers except the subject. 

	If you put another header type line in the body of the text, it
    will still be there --in the body which means your filter does a great
    number of CPU cylces unnecessary.  Suggest: 

	    Subject: [aga@] whatever the current smoke....

    which should pass most of the garden variety remailers. 

	Personally, I think he's so far out, he is almost more humouress
    than he is ignorant, but he's been procmailed....

If you use procmail, you can use the following entry to support 
cypherpunks-specific killfile: 

:0
* ^(Sender|From): owner-cypherpunks@toad.com
{
  :0 BHc:
  * !? fgrep -q -i -f $HOME/.procmail/killfile.cpunks
  $MAILDIR/crypto.noflames

  .. some more irrelevant recipes ..
}

Then create ~/.procmail and edit file $HOME/.procmail/killfile.cpunks.
Put there something like

someone@you.want.to.ignore
freedom-knights
someone@else

and so on. This recipe will trash everything with the specified 
addresses mentioned in headers and bodies of incoming cypherpunks
articles. I experimented with this recipe at the height of the f-k
vs. cypherpunks flamewar. It reduced the traffic in half and what 
remained was much more useful.
