[TriLUG] Concerns about public mail archives (was: The Samba Question you posted about printing)

[Jon Carnes]

Your concern is well noted.  I will write a script to expunge our email
addresses from the archives.  By default mailman removes them from the
headers before archiving, but alas, folks often include them in their
responses to folks.

I promise to have this done before tomorrow.
