You could say that. The last time I pruned dupes from my active css-d
spool I got back 2MB of disk space :)

What about PGP/MIME signed messages? I know it breaks a bit in Outlook,
but it's not our fault Microsoft can't get a 7 year old standard right
:P
Hm, where have I seen that before...

Per-user? I don't want Cc'd replies (hence my Mail-Followup-To header),
but definately want list replies, since anything else will screw up my
automated mailing list filtering.

Ah, my pet hate MLM -- http://www.jwz.org/doc/mailman.html
Add to that the stupid monthly plaintext password reminder (don't
suppose that's optional yet?) to some random mailing list name (I get
one to "test", one to "news", oone to "announcements", one to.. argh!)
One day I'll write my own similarly featured MLM which isn't quite so
lame. *cough* Maybe *cough* :)

Hm, interesting; how does that work? Send mail to a different address?
Set some sort of subject prefix? I'm guessing it's somewhat like nested
lists, only with a more DAG-like structure rather than a tree. I'll be
interested to see how this affects the List-Id header, since I filter on
that..
Thanks, BTW. I know how annoying setting up MLM's can be :)
