Do I really need to repeat for the hundredth time that I read
debian-user through gmane, ie, as a newsgroup, so that your procmail
recipe does precisely diddly for me??

Sorry.  I've just gotten that response a ton of times, and 1) it doesn't
help me, and 2) it's beside the point.  I shouldn't *have* to do any of
this -- d-u has a policy against cc'ing unless requested, and I set my
mail headers appropriately.  But that's apparently not enough, so I try
silly things like bogus Reply-To's to deal with what should be a
non-issue.

Er, rant off.  Must go mountain bike.
