You are right, we didn't always get these messages. I forward messages to
the list that come from 2 different sources:

-Email addresses that are not subscribed to the list. This is an attempt to
cut down the "spam" mail that was coming to the list. Unfortunately, the
ListServ software is not happy working with the "redirect" funtions, so I
have been simply forwarding them to the list. That little header of "reply
to them, not me" is an attempt to keep confusion at a minimum.

-Subscribers who have mail software that ListServ doesn't like to talk with.
For example, you may notice I am always forwarding Dave Bayer's posts to the
list. That's because the old version of ListServ can't interpret his return
address correctly, so they go to me for approval.
