The final conclusion was that "mailing list exploders" should generate
a new message (ie. with a new Message-ID). (The "Errors-to" header was
also disapproved if I remember rightly.)
...I suggest that each SUB-LIST exploder also replace
the Message-ID with a new Message-ID. (ie. Mailing list exploders at any
level should generate a new message.)
What if I accidentally get two compies of a message? If they've come
through different forwarders there'll be no way for my mail reader do
detect this condition and delete excess copies.
