Thanks for posting this Mike - I've been waiting for some of the regular
"subscribers" to at least mention the web site (visit and offering to
help maintain it would be nice too).

some of your questions. (I chose to point out the reflection of mailing
list messages as a FAQ instead of a top message block.)

someone can figure out how to stop is (and keep PHP's MagicQuotes off),
I'd sure like to know!

(That people on the mailing list wanted). I haven't noticed it (or at
least am not annoyed by it) in the email messages I received.
> I believe you might have some questions as to the definition of
"valid reply address" in NH's email forgery "law" - which I believe
isn't law yet. Because all the postings do have valid reply addresses -
but I suspect you want the reply address to go back to the original author.
I believe there's enough information in the site's database to do that
(and still protect us from spamming email harvesters), its just a matter
of writing the code to do it. I wrote the original "mailing list
porting" code, but I don't have time anymore to enhance it to provide
this feature. Either someone gets to relieve me of my GNHLUG duties to
free up some time to do this, or I can send someone the code and they
can work on it. Volunteers anyone?
