No, not at all.  What I *WANT* is to only receive mailing list message
from the mailing list.  But that's not going to happen because people
will always do "Reply to All" for whatever reason and there's no way
that I can select to stop non-list replies [1].  So I have to go for
non-ideal compromises because of the actions of other people. 

Right, this is totally of topic for this list.  I am not going to
participate any further in this discussion.

P.

[1] actually, perhaps I should put in an MTA rule that rejects mail
containing evolution-list in the headers, but doesn't contain the list
headers...
