   Actually, there's a simple procmail recipe that will solve your problem
and forever keep you from additional embarassment by removing the unnecessary
and annoying Reply-To: header field that mailman adds to this list. Removing
it will allow you to default replies to the sender, yet still easily mail to
the list with a simple Reply-To-All (which even MS email clients can handle,
I've been told). You can ignore the subject munge removal if you _are_ using
an email client that can't filter on arbitrary header fields (like that MS
client I mentioned), and I'm not including my footer removal recipies to keep
from annoying the tolerant folks who manage the list.

         Charlie (who thinks these munges cause more trouble then
                   they're worth; obviously simple rewrites will
                   let you use this for other lists as well)
