The best general solution, with the greatest "effect leverage", would
be to persuade administrators of systems that generate non-useful
headers (bad From:, no Reply-To:) to fix their news systms.

Exactly.  RMS's request for having the submissions mailed instead of posted
should apply only to these misconfigured sites.


There's another request that he frequently posts: to leave gnu-X lists
[gnu.X groups] for announcements, and submit questions and bug reports to
bug-X [gnu.X.bug] instead (where X is "gcc", "g++", etc.).

Perhaps it would help to rename the groups gatewayed with
"announcement-list" into gnu.X.announce?

I realize that the original naming of the groups was chosen to correspond
as closely as possible to the naming of the mailing lists, but many readers
of gnu.* don't know the gnu mailing list naming conventions, and rely on
the group names for guidance.
