One of my subscribers just sent me this:

I looked at my "error" folder (my mailer filters out error messages and
puts them in a folder) and sure enough, there his message was, with a
head note saying:

> The enclosed message, found in the CASLL mailbox and shown under the spool ID
> 11259736 in the system log, has  been identified as a possible delivery error

All I can figure out is that he inadvertently left the message he was
replying to at the bottom of his own message.  It was marked out with >
at the margin, but I guess LISTERV is ignoring that?  Is there any way
to avoid this?  (I'm not going to be able to train my subscribers to
edit out the To: lines in the included messages they don't even know are
there . . . )
