(but everyone should use list-reply when replying to lists, unfortunatly many mailers are lame and don't include that function) adding a Mail-Copies-To: nobody header can help catch a few more mailers. i do that like so: send-hook '~l' 'my_hdr Mail-Copies-To: nobody' send-hook '!~l' 'unmy_hdr Mail-Copies-To:' this helps quite a bit, but not enough since so many mailers don't bother to pay any attention to either of these, or provide a list-reply function, that leaves the user to have to manually edit the CC and To feilds to remove addresses to comply with netiquite, very few users bother to do this. (you don't have either of these headers) -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
