Is this a typo? I hope it wasn't intended to filter messages with "management"
in the
subject, e.g.:
"CVS management of /etc - permissions problem"
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/info-cvs/2001-September/019826.html
"release management with CVS"
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/info-cvs/2001-September/019846.html
Filtering out messages with "product" in the subject prohibits an innocent
message like:
"Questions about your product "
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/info-cvs/2001-May/014773.html
And anyone that has a problem checking in a Rich Text Format document had
better not
state that in the subject.
