I was on a SunOS/Solaris admin mailing list, and how they worked it was
like this:

You posted your original question to the list,

Then the original poster posted a summary of the help he received back to
the list, with SUMMARY: ... as the beginning of the subject.

Anyone else think something like this might work here???
