I've done something similar with gnus/emacs, which lets you set custom headers on a per-folder basis. I have set things up so that messages sent from the debian-user folder always have a to: field of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and a Mail-Followup-To: field with the same. The only drawback I've found is that hittint 'R' to reply to the sender instead of the mailing list no longer works and I have to manually modify the headers... if anyone knows how to fix this, I would appreciate that they share the information :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
