    I finally got around to mucking a bit more with my mailer to try
    to get the "From: " address a little more sane and make a few
    other things nicer.  You will see with this issue that:
        1) The "From:" address is "[log in to unmask]".
           If you are on the Internet, or run pathalias, or have a mailer
           that forwards unknown destination mail to a site that's on the
           Internet or runs pathalias, a "reply" in your mail program
           to any mailing list issue should work just hunky in getting
           stuff to me.  If it doesn't work under the above situations,
           your mailer is busted (eg: your internet facility doesn't
           know about the ".ca" domain) or uses the "From " line in
           preference to the "From:" line.  If your mailer doesn't
           do the "right thing", you should mail to:
                [log in to unmask]
            or
                path-to-uunet!uunet!ferret.ocunix.on.ca!ferret-list
           depending on whether you're mailer is domain capable or not
           respectively.
        2) The parenthesized part of the From: address and the Subject:
           line work together to make a nice simple concise display
           in your mailer's mail header display (eg: mush, mailx, BSD
           Mail or elm).
        3) I got multi-cast to work better - reduces loading substantially.
