Dear Mailfolks,

         I'm using Mm 2.1.1 and I have two questions about trapping 
filtered messages.

The FAQ for Mm suggests putting content-type filters on the Privacy --> 
spam page; I would have thought that the Content Filtering page would have 
been a better place.  These are the filters suggested at the FAQ page:

content-type: .*octet
content-type: .*oda
content-type: .*audio
content-type: .*image
content-type: .*alternative
content-type: .*digest
content-type: .*mixed
content-type: .*related
content-type: .*rich
content-type: .*html
content-type: .*video

Q1: is one place better than the other and why so?

And, when messages trip the Content-filter trap, the sender receives a very 
cryptic: The message's content type was explicitly disallowed

When messages trip the Filters --> Spam trap, the sender receives a 
somewhat friendlier, but still unhelpful:

Your mail to 'Odnet-test2' with the subject

     small again

Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

The reason it is being held:

     Message has a suspicious header

Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive
notification of the moderator's decision.  If you would like to cancel
this posting, please visit the following URL:

Q2: are these messages editable?  And, if so, what are they called and 
where can I find them?

Thanks for your help.
