Are you suggesting we have to add [RT] to every message we DON'T want 
going to the Nuby list?  I don't see that happening.  People new to 
Ruby Talk certainly wouldn't know the trick, by way of example.

I would think the correct system would be just the opposite.  Mails 
titled with [NUBY] (or whatever) should be the ones that DO jump lists. 
  Then if the gateway between lists ensures that all messages are moved 
from the Nuby list to here and gain a [NUBY] if needed in the transfer, 
replies should work as expected and posted should rarely have a need to 
force special behavior for their messages.
