In other news, "Pangea" took down a slew of drug peddling spammers. This should probably not distract us from the also recent revelations about just how much money spammers can make on very, very little investment and a paltry response rate. And finally, the stupidity of some people is enough to make you wonder just what they won't believe, no matter the consequences.

    EL_Check_Header_XMailer.m4

    to exclude the string 'Writely' from the list of bad X-Mailers. It seems
    that Google bought Writely, and integrated it into their Google Docs
    mail software - so if you share a Google Document, it sends a message
    to the recipient to the effect that the Document can be found here, etc.
    That message contains an X-Mailer of 'WritelyMailer', which we'd only
    ever before seen in spam, so if your customer/user base uses Google Docs,
    you'll want to fix this ASAP.
