Well, maybe the "Followup-to:" header could help here, but I'm not sure whether there is one that prevents any replies to a message. "Followup-to: poster" explicitly directs replies to the original author - but that's not what I would want. Are there other keywords for this that could achieve the wanted goal? Plus: I'm not sure whether a "Followup-to:" header would correctly make it through the mailing list software. So for a test I'm setting "Followup-to: poster" in this message. ANYBODY REPLYING TO THIS MESSAGE PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SEND YOUR REPLY TO THE LIST INSTEAD OF ME PRIVATELY!

Do you really believe this would change anything? ;-) Klaus
