Add the following line to your header:

Distribution: usa

Other useful distributions are na (North America) and the two letter abbrev.
for your state.  There may be others in your area.  For example PDX, will limit
messages to the Portland/Vancouver area.

Since the orignal message was sent world wide, I sent the reply that way also.
I don't know the the distributions outside of the USA, but you site admin- 
istrater should know.
