Can people **please** send posts to one of these two lists, only? Having to go
through and delete every other post (yeah, I know, I could relete _all_
messages to either list, since they are archived, but old habits are hard to
break) is _really_ annoying.

OK, I can see sending an _initial_ query to both lists, to get it to as wide
a circle as possible: _but_ BCC at least one of them, to prevent lazy people
just hitting 'reply all' and thereby sanding out multiple copies of their
reply.

Thank you.

      Noel

I really do wish we could get the lists configured to permit Bcc's. It is a
very effective way to redirect traffic from one list to another in lieu of
a `Reply-to:`.

I've just disabled "require explicit destination" on both the TUHS and
COFF lists. Let's see if that allows bcc between them.

Cheers, Warren

I believe that this is possible.  I think you can configure Mailman to 
allow the list to be BCCed and check that the sender is a member.

Warren, what do you think?

Sorry for the extra message.  I saw Warren's reply about (previously) 
requiring an explicit destination, /after/ I hit send.  I think it came 
in while I was typing my reply.  :-(
