Good reminders; thanks, Gerald. I've grown fond of the posting FAQ
over on another list, and I quote it sometimes. I've made a
shortened link to the page, and direct people especially to bullet
2.4 at the bottom of the page:

That's a link to the Mailing List Etiquette page of The FreeBSD
Mailing Lists.

Btw, Hossein, if you're using the ^TO_ macro, you don't need ".*"
after it. Just this is better:
* ^TO_farsitex-user@
But Gerald makes a good point in that it's best with lists to
go for specific header fields that are list-reserved; and
X-BeenThere: farsitex-user(_at_)lists(_dot_)sourceforge(_dot_)net
List-Id: A mailing list for users of FarsiTeX
<farsitex-user.lists.sourceforge.net>
are both excellent candidates.
Neither of those matches what GoogleKreme wrote. You are missing
the ":" after "^TO_". I honestly don't know if it makes a
difference as I'm super tired right now [. . .]
Hmm, I admit I skimmed Kremey's post very quickly. I wasn't
all that taken with his style, frankly, so didn't scrunch up
my forehead and really look hard. But I can't see why we'd
want a colon after a ^TO_ macro. The macro already looks for a
non-address char right before the start of the search pattern you
provide. In fact, I'd hazard a guess that the colon will cause
it not to work! I don't feel like trying it, though.
I'll add that I essentially never use the ^TO_/^TO macros,
preferring more specifically coded regexes. But I know plenty
use them, and I wouldn't want to say one shouldn't. It's just
a personal preference.
