Er, you probably already thought about this, but what would happen if the
reply-to fields on stuff sent out by the listproc were all set to the
original sender? (and on pps-all, to /dev/null ;-) ).
While it would make doing a wide reply a bit harder, I for one would
gladly put up with that for the sake of saving hundreds of
mistakenly-sent messages from going out to everyone on the list. I
don't know what all the various mailers do with the reply-to header,
but it might help on at least some cases. Maybe other fields need to
be changed instead or as well (sender, from, originator?) this is out
of my depth... In any case, a standard wide-reply function should
look at the to field, no? which would still work, methinks.
I'm not sure what the right response is to those who have erred; I
have been politely and discretely offering help to those who have
mistakenly replied to pps-all....
But all in all I think it is going very smoothly- thanks to the
organizers!
