Side note: This list very deliberately posts messages as From: the
poster, with a Reply-To: the list (and an Errors-To: the list admin). 
This is done to allow easy replies direct to the poster or to the
list.  The problems enter with bounces.  Recent RFC revisions have
discredited the Errors-To header, resulting in canonical SMTP servers
sending their bounce messages back to the poster vs the list admin.

Now, I could make the From: field the list admin instead, but I feel
having the poster in there is a good enough added value.
