Hopefully, most of the time it DOES trigger an error.  And this is my
canned response to those who do not edit:

Dear

If you want this distributed to all of zzzzzz-L, you will need to
remove the original "headers" that you included in your reply: the
software does not allow you to include them, thinking that it is
a "loop."

Additionally, please remove all other original signatures and text
NOT essential for context -- sometimes all you will need is a
relevant SUBJECT: RE: line in your reply.

Otherwise, simply forward to your intended correspondent.

Thanks.
