As Paul points out, this doesn't work for people who aren't subscribed
to the mailing list.

Most people don't bother to trim the headings (include myself, as you
can see from this email).  True, it means that sometimes you get two
copies of emails, but it's no big deal.

I recommend that people use the keyboard shortcut for "reply to all",
instead of using icons.  Then you can simply remember "hit g when replying
on a lilypond- mailing list" (for example) and then type your message.
Don't worry about the headers; it's more trouble than it's worth.
