Hmm..  Yes it did...   I found them in junk-pile, and the reason was:

 From:   Sam Vilain <sam@xxxxxxxxxx>
 Subject: [RFC] [PATCH 3/7] [vserver] Add /proc visibility of vserver info
 Date:   Tue, 21 Mar 2006 18:13:35 +1200

 Illegal-Object: Syntax error in Cc: addresses found on vger.kernel.org:

                         ^     ^-missing end of address
                  \-extraneous tokens in address



Your MUA software doesn't do proper text element quoting, when said
element has RFC-822 specials in it.

Had the Cc: been either of following, there would not have been this
syntax error biting on junk filter:

      Eric W Biederman  <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
      "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Have fun.
