Obsene Subject Lines

The number of spam emails with obsene words in the subject line is increasing. Today I got one called "Damn just saw my wife getiing ******". I've replaced the rude word but use your imagination.

Does NTL do any filtering of such emails? It isn't difficult to write a bit of code to scan the subject line and delete the email if appropriate.

I realise that this wont stop the general spam problem but it would stop my kids seeing the subject line if they get to the pc before me.

NTL sell themselves as being family friendly, i.e. NTL HOME so surely they have some responsibility here.
