Definitely.

Generally, the "users" don't have a choice; it's their mail provider or
their company that employs the filter.
(As I read recently, apparently Yahoo has a filter which replaces
certain J.a.v.a.S.c.r.i.p.t words with others, even in the middle of
other words -- with the result that m.e.d.i.e.v.a.l turns into
medireview because it contains the "dirty" word e.v.a.l -- and other
people wonder what this "medireview" might be that their email partners
keep speaking of.)
Cheers,
Philip
