Subject: Mailing list headers (was: BBC Master 128 problem)

Doh! I've just done it! Re-sent to the LIST this time, instead of 
direct to Jonathan! Consider this another vote to change the list 
headers ;-)

No, it works with any message with multiple recipients, Shirley?
"Reply" replies to the "From:" address (or "Reply-To" if it is set),
while "Reply to All" replies to the "From:" address and everyone in
the "To:" and "CC:" fields as well.
