On a different topic, what would it take for you to just reply to the list? It appears that you don't honour the posters wishes (M-F-T was set to the list...), and although we don't have a currently list policy, I would assume the same list policy as the debian mailing lists - i.e. don't cc the sender, just post to the list *unless* they have explicetly asked to be copied.
I changed my preset for all user group lists a while ago because of problems (at mailman.lug.org.uk and lugog.org.uk among others) which were delaying messages. Often user group mailing list messages are cries for help and sometimes it's important that messages get to the recipient fast (directly), as well as fairly reliably (by the list).
I can change it back for ALUG if people want, but I didn't think there were strong opinions about this here. Are there?
M-F-T is a buggy non-standard header (see IETF DRUMS WG discussions of it) and mail clients should ignore it. If someone has strong views on where replies should go, put it in your sig, not hidden in DJB's pet header.
On a different topic, what would it take to stop Brett Parker drive-by flaming me on ALUG main? At least this one wasn't a total fabrication.
