My cristal ball says you have a mutt alias or hook that fills in the correct address for you (or something like that), but it doesn't work for d-community-offto...@lists.alioth.debian.org (don't forget the 'alioth' part). > In any case.. even if the above had worked.. it would only have posted > my particular post to d-OT.. what about the previous OT messages that > were initially posted to D-U and would be essential :-) to anyone > catching up understanding what I am talking about..?

And to my initial instructions, you might want to leave d-u in for the *first* post[1], so that people from d-u who are interested know that the discussion was moved[2]. [1] please do set Reply-To: and/or Mail-Followup-to: to d-community-offtopic@l.a.d.o in such cases [2] one can argue that this is not necessary or even harmful for d-u, since people interested in OT discussions would already be subscribed to d-OT, but on the other hand it might help to point out to other posters in the thread to stop posting to d-u in other sub-threads.
