Possibly, but the issue is obviously bigger than
Ohio and bigger than AOL.  What changes can the ILS
vendors make so that electronic notices are
distinguishable from spam?  I can't accept that the
~only~ answer is for each individual client to create
a special filter rule to allow library messages through.
Babies, it seems, are being thrown out with bathwater.
