Please post an alternative suitably-munged public archive, else the 
people of Lincolnshire will not be able to tell what a useful email 
list their LUG has and it won't appear on web searches, library 
catalogues and so on. In general, LUGs don't have reliable amounts of 
time to summarise all list discussion to articles on their main site 
and what one person thinks insignificant may be the vital hint a new 
member needs.

While you're fiddling with the list, can you remove the reply-to 
setting, please? The list already has List-Post headers, which allow a 
well-behaved mail client to default to list-replies, if that is its 
user's policy. I'm rather unhappy that this list makes it 
unnecessarily hard to reply to the author only, which was what I 
intended to do on Saturday and failed. Fortunately, it wasn't that 
sensitive an email.
