/Just explaining this to myself:/ That explains why the reply ended up
_only_ on the mailing list but not on the tracker.  the Reply-To:
header contained both addresses, and I believe the poster sent
the message to all.  GnuPG signature by itself doesn't direct
it to savannah-trackers@ rather than to the mailing list.

Thank you, I shall.

I'll bear this in mind if I implement this.
