That would work for me. I need to hack Mailman a little to add this feature, but it could be done.

Note that I requested this feature for Mailman a while back. I'd like to use it for the "checkin" mailing lists that I run. Send to checkins, respond to the discussion list. Currently, my CVS automailer just inserts a Reply-To:, but it would be nice to have it directly on the mailing list itself. (view it more as a Followup-To: for mailers, rather than Reply-To munging) In this particular case, I think the "patches mailing list" would be a self-contained list discussing a *patch*. Sure, it could certainly migrate to python-dev when appropriate, but I think the majority of the discussion should stay on the patches list. Otherwise, we'd just be spamming the -dev list as if the patches list didn't exist. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
