OK, I've got another draft here (mine on the left, John's on the right). Very little difference in size, now, and I think all the essential points are covered. Comments?

It's great, except that you might want to consider these alternatives:

[A] Responding to the digest message itself will not work. Instead, open the 
relevant attachment with your mail client, and ensure that your reply goes to 
[email protected] and not directly to the author of the message. Reply All 
will automatically insert both addresses.
             - OR -
[B] To reply to any message, hit Reply-All to *make your reply go to the list*. Also, as a courtesy, please delete the address in the "To:" header of your reply.

(1) I think we need to emphasize Reply All; otherwise the reply will not go to the list but to an individual. [You do say "ensure that your reply goes to [email protected]", but if we are worried about clueless correspondents...] (2) After Reply All (which includes CC:list), it would be courteous to remove the To: address.

<The more I consider the contortions into which we bend ourselves to try to make this idiot-proof and considerate to all, the more I wonder about the merits of unsubscribed posting.>
