Hmm. I'd seen such around ,but hadn't seen them in use, nor known that
EZMLM implemented them.

Should get off my duff and add a few bits to my mail compose hook to
make it act as if this is an alternative reply-to address (during
follow-ups only).

Ok, done -- (only 1.5 hours after I started; -man- my Lisp stinks,
even if it's existent).  Very nice; if anyone uses VM (an emacs
mailreading package that works just -fine- in a shell, and is far, far
better than Pine) and wants my ugly (because it involves redefining
VM's Lisp functions to make it call my stuff, and therefore overrides
vm's basic functions for that  purpose; it's actually fairly elegant
aside from that), but usable patch to treat the contents of
"List-Post" (parsed appropriately) like a reply-to that only works
when following up, email me.
