I'm on kmail now, Which does handle replys properly. But when using FF, in
order to get the list included, you must reply-all, then clear the to: box in
order to stop the automatic PM. More useless mouse work.
And I might add that I only made the apple comment after receiving bounce msgs
3 times from attempting to post to @cups.org. Doing to the site that
originated the bounce msgs, and finding that the cups mailing list was not
listed there, and the fact that the lists going away had been announced on
that list months ago, I posted the only theory I had left. If there actually
still is a cups list, lay it on me. But it hasn't been yet.
