HELP!!!

[Kevin Wilson]

There are a couple of things about the Mailman setup for this list that 
puzzle me. I'm sure there are good reasons, of course...

1) There's no list tag (eg [GNU]) in the subject line to make email 
filters/message rules easy. When I setup a new Mailman list, it defaults 
to having one. Right now I'm using the "to" address to filter messages 
in Thunderbird, but that fails when someone replies to a poster and CC's 
the list.

2) Instead of continually reminding people to CC the list, why not make 
the default reply action to reply to the list?
