If one were to do some mail mangling to remove that, I'd also suggest
eliminating any followup-to headers that gmane inserts when it sends
replies back to this list.  For people unsubscribed to them (myself
included), whenever I hit reply on a message that came here through
them, the reply is preselected to be a usenet post to them, instead of a
reply to this list.  And the posting fails.

It's just bad form for them to subvert the list with their posting, and
they should remove it on the way out of their gateway.  Failing that, we
could remove it on the way in.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
