What I was proposing is to change all the headers - no reference to
this list all refs to the OT list. Ideally, this would be done by list
members, not moderators, but could be done by moderators too.

To review a bit - when an OT email arrives, send TWO replies.

(1) says 'my reply will be on the OT list' and nothing else. This
email is sent to the ubuntu-users list and includes the link to
subscribe, to make it as easy as possible to go there.

(2) is the actual reply and goes only to the OT list.

ALL direct replies not to the OT list also get the same treatment.

Perhaps a script guru could automate this a bit. :-) That would help
all of us a LOT.
