And, an autoresponder should never (a) reply to "Precedence: bulk"
messages, nor (b) emit messages not marked as such.

I suspect the mailing-list software would have refused to forward a
properly marked message to the list.  Either that, or it is broken
too. :)

Too many idiots not learning enough about email before writing
mailbots.  Egad.
