SUBJECT ....

[Randall R Schulz]

Chris,

Whew! Thanks for that unequivocal reply.

There's nothing worse (in the world of mailing lists) that such a hideous 
sop to brain-dead mailers.

This makes me suspect that we're about due for the counterpart to the 
request for a [LIST-NAME] "Subject:" tag: having "Reply-To:" set by the 
list server.

Perhaps that one should be put to rest, right away, too?
