Scott, Alas, one of the great undead questions of mailing lists. I'm on *your* side, 'cause otherwise you have to know everyone by name. Others say, well, just sort Dragaera into a file and it's all in one place. Listname tag takes up space in header. etc. We do replies wrong, too . . . they go to sender, not to the list.
