End result: we now have a mechanism for looking at an unsub's post and
giving him a command that will result in his getting a digest of the
thread. He can repeat the request as often as he wants, discarding the
old digest because the whole thread will be captured. And this could
even be done from somewhere inside the thread, if we didn't keep the
original post, since it backs up over the whole thread (* subject to
some more investigation). Opening the attached .ezm file (at least on
Thunderbird) yields a message to which you can reply; the only hitch I
see is that its reply-to is set for the individual, not for the list.
Still need to check out some things like changed subject lines, thread
hijacking, etc., but...
I think we may be getting close here! If anybody else wants to play,
come on in.
Barbara, first off, from a long -time lurker, thank you for all you do
in helping the OOo community!
I tested your theory using this original by issuing
<[email protected]> and did receive the anticipated
response (albeit only your message at the moment)
>From Thunderbird (although it appears to work in Outlook as well) I
double-clicked on the .ezm and issued a Reply-All, which of course place
your address as the To: and the list address as a CC:
I quick edit of the CC into a To and removing your address and this
response should make it to the list. If it threads we will at list know
whether or not threading is preserved in replying this way.

So far, so good, and thanks for following up on this. I'm hoping for the
best, this would be a pretty straightforward way to get responses to
them without any fuss with archive or Gmane searches, without flooding
them with stuff they don't care about, and without relying on cc's or
forwarding. If it could be automated, better yet!
I really appreciate the list and this community, so if I can help I'm
always happy to. And this issue has been hanging around *way* too long!
Maybe this approach has been investigated before, but I haven't seen it.
We have some super-sleuths who may tell us. :-)
