Well, hells bells!  Isn't it obvious that anyone who puts "(offlist)" or
OFFLIST at the head of a subject line has made a mistake if it
gets to the public forum?  

If it's easy, Eugen, you should just return said post to the sender,
and cover for their mistake.

That would be neat, since several of us make that mistake a couple
of times each year, sometimes with embarrasing results.

Thanks,
