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.)
