What it really comes down to is that the address munging provides a mailto: link which makes it easy for folks who find the archive pages to generate an e-mail message to the list (which is OK), and that these folks don't realize that they're about to post to a mailing list and that providing some context would be a good thing. If they realized that, they could perhaps write "w/r/t foo's message to this list on date mm/dd/yy on the matter of bar" or even copy and paste some of the webby archive page into the message. What might be helpful would be for the webby archive pages to not have that link right next to the poster's name, but instead to have a "post a follow-up to this message" link somewhere on the page. I have no idea how to do this using pipermail though. -Frank McConnell
