(I still haven't resubscribed as "bob
spam_OUTdrzyzgula.org", sorry)
Dave raises a good point. I must say that I have often
been frustrated by the fact that the PICLIST inserts a
Reply-To: that directs all responses only to the list.
This makes it somewhat more difficult to reply to only
the sender of a message, for example.
Perhaps if the default reply-to was something else, there
would be less nonsense on the list. Here's one suggestion:
Change the logic in the list server such that, for this
message, had I gotten around to changing my subscription
:-) Reply-To: would get set to:
Reply-To: PICLIST at MITVMA.MIT.EDU comma bob at drzyzgula.org <piclist-faq@mi
tvma.mit.edu>
Where piclist-faq would simply echo back to the sender a
message explaining various things like how to unsubscribe,
how to edit the To: line to do what you probably wanted,
etc. Then, regular posters would know what to do, it would
become more clear when you were posting to the list and
when you were sending a private response, and bozos would
simply get their stuff thrown back at them along with a
small bit of polite clue assistance.
Just an idea.
