That's why we all should add a reply-to field on the messages we send
to the list. (although I forgot to do this with this message :-P)
    

No, we shouldn't :) See archives for various long arguments on the

applied by this list) is available at

OK, I feel really embarrassed for my ignorance... I didn't even knew what munging means (now I know it :-P).
And thanks for the link. But I still thinking that munging is a good idea...

And as they say in the link provided by Felix Miata, replying to a private makes thing harder when you search on the archives of the list.
