Nice work, Shane!!!<br><br>Great strategy for dealing with Spam. Does marking a comment as spam hide it until approved or nuked?<br><br>PS - Do we have this up anywhere as a Seam 2 example? I have to imagine we do... but this is something people might actually be interested in / could even be spawned off as an opensource project of its own (hopefully getting some help to upgrade to Seam 3 and CDI)<br>

Oops, I also forgot to add that I changed the subject line for the forum<br>
mailing list to include the forum name also. So now, instead of the<br>
subject appearing like this:<br>
<br>
Re: [seam-forums] Some forum topic<br>
<br>
it will appear like this:<br>
<br>
Re: [seam-forums] [Seam Users] Some forum topic<br>
<br>
Hopefully no-one has any objections to this change - I figured it would<br>
be useful for people who might like more fine-grained control over their<br>
mail filters.<br>
