ADMIN: Another mailing list suggestion

[Life is just a bowl of queries! <JMELTON@sybgate.sybase.com>]

Many mailing lists to which I belong manipulate the SMTP (or whatever)
header information so that the From: information is shown to be the
mailing list itself, instead of the individual person sending the message. 

I find there are significant advandages in having some well-defined way to
identify messages from a specific mailing list, like a known sequence of
characters in the From: or Subject: fields.

That way, those of us with automatic response programs (e.g., the UNIX
vacation utility) can set them up in a way that does not respond to
mailing list messages, thus reducing the unnecessary bandwidth associated
with such programs. 

With hopes that the ThinkPad mailing list can be so configured,
