While you're at it, how about making it only produce messages for those
hierarchies that are mentioned in the message? I'm not going to rmgroup
news.announce.important because a vmsnet checkgroups told me to...but
the checkgroups that the vmsnet guru send out regularly (which only
mentions vmsnet.*) produces an email message saying that everything in
all of the other hierarchies is bad.
