Sorry, but I haven't found a way to manipulate headers in the archives or
even to delete messages that never should have been sent to the list; it
was fairly easy to do before we moved to the Mailman software but the
Mailman software has so many positives over the old Lyris software
(including spam protection, which does require fairly regular
monitoring--but it works) that inconvenient aspects seem relatively minor
in the balance.
What this means is that, as Plato says in the Republic--more or less--, we
must be our own guardians, in this instance, being careful in advance about
whether a message should go to the list or as a response to the original
poster, and whether the subject-header and cc-header accurately indicate
what one intends.
What I posted to the list in June remains valid:
