No need to test: a message tagged with [kooler] will go to the list
addressed to.

will go to kplug-list.
OK, ..., not to sound critical, but where's the benefit of using
[Kooler] in the subject line if it just goes to the regular list
anyway? Filtering?
Ideally, there would be a way to re-route responses into the kooler list
in such a way so that the participants of that thread would continue to
receive responses to that thread, even if they are not subscribed to the
kooler list. Ideally, there would also be a simple way to opt out of
any further responses from the thread. (Too complicated, yeah, yeah, I
know. The ideal often is.)
There is: cc: the people in question. The other way is to send a note to
-list that says response is on -kooler, and send replies there.
I like that, mostly, except the cc: option (unless I *know* that the cc:
recipient is *not* on the kooler list). Since I'm subscribed to kooler,
I guess I could filter kooler messages into their own sub-folder under
kplug. This way, I can easily check the list of messages in the kooler
folder to see if the person to whom I'm responding is in there. (If
not, then it is uncertain whether or not they are subscribed there.)

Response is on -kooler.

You are all morons!
Something like that. This allows those that want to follow to go to the
web archives and follow along if they wish. It is not your fault that
some people choose to not subscribe to certain lists.
Is there a link I could include in the -list announcement posting to
make it easy to go find the -kooler archive?
TIA
