Actually, there's one I missed: _new_ email should _not_ be going to the 
old archiving software that did a shitty job of mangling email 
addresses, and shouldn't have been doing this for a long while.

Sod!

This I'll fix ASAP, and try to find the time to re-munge the older posts 
(that unfortunately no longer exist in mbox format for importation into 
Mailman, or I'd have done so ages ago).

Cheers,
