Thankyou for the information, Jacob.  I'll try it on a few people to see how
it works.

Setting the subscribers to IETFHDR will accomplish this.  There are
some side-effects to this, as LISTSERV won't add a Reply-To: header
in the messages sent to the IETFHDR subscribers (or otherwise make
many modifications to the headers).  Also, you may wish to consider
how desirable it is to have people not subscribed to the mailing list
involved in mailing list discussions, as there won't be any
convenient way for them to unsubscribe if they no longer want to
participate in the discussion.  That aside, IETFHDR sounds like it's
what you're looking for.

Thanks,
