If someone needs really an image to show a problem, it can be put on
some server and the link could be posted, like this one showing a PANIC

I take the decision of purging or not a mail based on its subject, and
after open a mail based of things like top postings (these get purged
without further reading). I know the mail subjects I was involved or on which
