A friend of mine recently started a new job, and we were having a conversation via email. Unexpectedly, she tells me that my latest email has been blocked by their automated filtering system — instead of receiving my email, she was sent this:
Please reply with history to uspostmaster@[removed].com if you wouldlike this message released.MailMarshal (an automated content monitoring gateway) hasstopped the following email for the following reason:It believes it may contain unacceptable language, or inappropriate material.

Note that I added the hyphens for censorship (you're welcome, those of you at work). So, ironically, rc_pinchey's friend still got a list of all the swears he used. Clbuttic!
