Or you can do what I usually do: make sure my address
shows and simply request that replies be sent offlist.
And SPAM!
Note my sig. AFAICT, the spam comes from the USENET
mirror, rather than those subscribed. Putting one's
address in human-readable form takes care of that
problem. If the mirroring keeps the REPLY-TO, that will
*increase* the probability of spam, not decrease it.
Absence or presence of REPLY-TO affects differently
those of us who read the list via USENET. If there's no
REPLY-TO, TO is the munged e-mail address of the
sender. Occasionally, someone posts with a REPLY-TO of the
list, and that makes things easier. However, when someone
has a REPLY-TO of their own address, I tend to think it was
just a mistake in the munging (as occasionally happens) and
change it to the list, anyway.
