Interestingly, I just got two copies of this message. If you were using the
feature you mention, it wasn't handled properly by this list.

And I don't see any Mail-Followup-To header in either of the messages I got.

I know that, were I to try to use this feature, I'd have to get a different
mailer, as Eudora 3.0.5 has no facility for inserting extra headers. (And
folks, please don't tell me to "get a real mailer". I use Eudora because it
has a variety of features that I do need a lot more than the ability to
customize my headers.)

drool-proof paper /n./ 

Documentation that has been obsessively dumbed down, to the point
where only a cretin could bear to read it, is said to have succumbed
to the `drool-proof paper syndrome' or to have been `written on
drool-proof paper'. For example, this is an actual quote from
Apple's LaserWriter manual: "Do not expose your LaserWriter to open
fire or flame."
