Kamaraju Kusumanchi (Raju) (I hope I didn't misspell his name) was putting together something like this. You can search for his posts. The thread was embedded in another thread about newbies ... a long thread. > Alternatively, is there a searcheable archive? This is the official search page: http://lists.debian.org/search.html Optionally the archive is hosted at gmane and google groops and I think a few other places.

On a mailing list like this one, the Reply-To is normally used if you happen to post from a different address then the one subscribed (or you are not subscribed at all) and you want a CC to that address.
