I've been told this too, that Princeton appends several X-lines to the 
headers.  My ISP strips them off (after maybe processing them a little?) so I can't 
see them, but friends tell me they're there.

Unforch, friends also tell me that my postings get a non-zero Spam rating.  
Maybe cuz they're created offline and posted later.

Anyway, it appears we wouldn't want Princeton to do the actual filtering, 
just the tagging as now.  And let your own ISP or mail reader interpret 
Princeton's tags as part of its own filtering.  (Not that my ISP seems to be doing 
much).  --Mike K.
