Sure.  But the problem is probably caused by a combination of James
Ryan's faulty auto-responder and this header unwisely added by the
mailing list software:

  Reply-To: linux-thinkpad@linux-thinkpad.org

Please see http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html

Without it, only posters would see the result of buggy auto-
responders, vastly reducing the problem.

Just be glad that his autoreplier doesn't seem to reply to it's own
messages.  There have been examples of those on other mailing lists.
Better fix the reply-to before someone like that shows up here...
