But Christian, your message went out twice: once to the list and once agan
to poor Zane.

Now my reply message is going out THRICE: once to the list, once again to
poor Zane, and yet another time to poor you.

Pretty soon, if people don't pay attention, 50 copies of the same message
will go out rather than just the one that should go to the list. The
intent of a mailing list is to be able to send one message to one address
and have it disperse from there. This new reply-to mechanism defeats that
purpose.

Anyway, I wouldn't really care if I could figure out how to set the list
back to postpone mode so I don't have to be getting any of these messages.
