Right. Rich Skrenta pointed this out too. I suppose the daemon could
take a "Followup-To: alt.sources.d" as evidence that the poster didn't
need a reminder.
Lest anyone claim this is just the same old form-letter-flame system
we have now, the significant difference is that there would be precisely
one site doing this.
