It seems like that would miss the whole point, since the overseers
mailing list is itself archived on the web.  And the original message
had no reference to the court case in question anyhow.

In any case, I did not preserve a copy of the message, as there didn't
seem to be any reason to do so.  The message clearly had nothing to do
with the DSSSList mailing list, and was simply spam.  While it is not
our usual policy to remove messages from the mailing lists, I think we
should feel free to remove obvious spam messages if we so choose.
