hooks for running our OUTGOING mail through procmail, we could automate the
reply addresses by letting the rcfile for outgoing mail examine the headers
already existing and the body to see where Reply-To: should point.  Then one
formail filter and we're set.

I'm not sure this is really a good use for procmail; IMHO, it's more of
a MUA issue.

I think it's a list software issue. This is precisely the sort of thing
SmartList is good at; look in the body and try to decide intelligently
whether Reply-To should be set off-list ("I don't subscribe to the list")
or on- ("Please don't CC me"), then set it. This is a fairly trivial regexp
problem and an extremely trivial SmartList problem. And an interminable
thread. ;p
