- the ELM mailer, which enjoys great popularity, has what some consider
- a "broken" group reply function - it does exactly what you've
- described above. after composing a group reply, the sender can always
- go back and manually edit the header lines, but more often than not,
- one forgets to do so.
-
- in this case, because the subject of my mail concerns that deficit,
- i'll leave the headers untouched so you can see how ELM decides to
- direct this group reply to the list.
