6. Fix the User Agent to do what the User Wants. Doing what the user wants
is the User Agent's job. The problem you are decribing is a user agent
that is not in fact functioning adequately as the user's agent when
dealing with the user's mailing list interactions. This is simply the
correct means of implementing number 4 above, and makes 5 unnecessary.
The user agent needs at least two distinct types of response to an article
posting letter item or document: respond to where the document is going or
respond to the author of the document.
Blessed Be. -MarkM-
