People who don't want to read the control messages can just filter them out. The following procmail will get rid of all of them. :0 H * ^X-Debian-PR-Message:.*transcript * ^X-Loop:.*debian-ment...@lists.debian.org /dev/null Furthermore, anything which does generate these messages should set References: appropriately, so they at least will end up in the RFS thread they belong to.
