Good point.
...perhaps the original message munged to ensure current accuracy of the to/cc/reply-to fields?
Not sure I understand; can you elaborate?
We can tell from a mailing list's configuration what the distribution address should be, but I guess we don't know what previous addresses it had, so it's not as simple as I was thinking to do this munging (I was thinking just a search/replace).
Maybe the appropriate modifications from the original message would be to add as a "To" address the current list address iff it does not appear in the To or CC addresses in the archived message (and to re-set ReplyTo, if reply-to-munging is set).
