My apologies for the duplicate messages. 

The first three were sent before I realized the messages were being
caught by administrivia checks.

When I realized these three had been caught, I assumed the list-owner
would not approve them after seeing the fourth message had already
been distributed.

Loop disasters:

I have received a couple of notes about similar loop disasters... the
resend.README says that it is "hoped" that "reply-to" could be made
intelligent enough to stop loops by 1.92.

I assume this isn't the case? Therefore, it is either necessary to
disable the "reply-to" feature (since a loop is inevitable, eventually),
or write custom code to check for it. (Please confirm this impression).

If someone else has written a loop prevention routine, I'd appreciate
a copy of the code (if possible).

Sincerely,
Thomas Leavitt
