Then there are these gray/white-listing wanna-be spam filters posters use :) My normal strategy in replying to lists is to CC:-ing the original senders on open lists (such as some *.gnu.org lists), while I am list- replying only on most closed lists. As open lists are an dying species nowadays, and are gradually being converted into spam breeding fields, I am getting used to miss CC:-ing the original sender ... ;) Ralf
