Hi Andrew,

I am as opposed to 'privat e-discussions' as you ;)

I replied to you and Jeff personally because there was nothing in the 
mail I received indicating that it came from core-talk. Apart from 
'Received:' fields the only field that mentions core-talk is

  X-Original-To: EPICS core-talk <[email protected]>

I have been using a procmail filter rule for core-talk and tech-talk 
like the following one for years and it has always worked perfectly.

:0:
* ^[email protected]
| ${FORMAIL} -I"Reply-To: [email protected]" >>${CORETALK}

However, it doesn't work any more; '^TO_' doesn't recognize 
'X-Original-To'.

Disruptions like these could be avoided by automatically setting 
'reply-to' field messages sent from tech-talk and core-talk.

Some list mailers also use 'ListId:' field.
