James,
My mailer sets a reply to to nv-l@lists.tivoli.com for this list for
this reason. I realize not everyone has the ability to that with
their mailer, however.
Does anyone have a hook into the list maintainer that could add such a
header to these messages by default?
I imagine a lot of folks are just replying to messages without
realizing that the reply is only going to a single individual rather
than the list.
