Suggestion: Is it possible to configure sendmail to send to the original
poster first, then the entire list second?  With procmail or something
perhaps?  I've never maintained a list, so sorry it's an uneducated
suggestion without a solution.

This way help is more usefull because some people way down on the list
(me :-) ) get it in less than 5 hours. :)
