Don't raise the bridge, lower the water, or, there are more ways to skin
a cat!
 
How about Send=Editor, [log in to unmask]
 
You could add more editors if necessary, but this routes anything sent to
the BITNET list to the right place and simplifies the Reply-To problem.
 
(I'm not commenting on the general issue of how Reply-To should be set on
Digests, I'm just commenting on redistributing mail from another list.)
