No problem.  Wasn't me that brought it into the recipient list.

Your To: has cln-list at ginac.de, your Reply-To: has both
Richard.Kreckel at ginac.de and cln-list at thep.physik.uni-mainz.de
by the time it reaches me.  Even not considering the problem
whether reply-to munging or putting the list name in reply-to
is useful or harmful at all -- there are always four addresses
involved (Your From: is kreckel at ginac.de, different again :)

If the reply-to is added by the ML software, maybe you could
adjust it to point to cln-list at ginac.de as well?

It's not a big deal at all, I just thought I'd mention it.

Uh, oh.  Well, good thing that bug's gone.
(It should've done so a couple of times, like 2 or 3..)

Great, thanks.

Will do so.  Thanks,
