What to do about the spam? (was: Fluorpro on Clontech.com)

There's an alternative way. Make it mandatory to have the subject 
line contain a certain identifier, e.g. GFP: or FLUOROPRO:, and set 
the list server to delete all other messages. Works very well for 
some other lists. It would also save us from most the the annoying 
misaddressed unsubscription messages.

Paul, or whoever is in charge currently, could that be arranged?
