No, you're the list admin. Lots of people are opposed to altering the 
Reply To header (e.g., I use the Reply To header when I email from home. 
If you overwrite it, then people may try to email me directly 
@tps12.dyndns.org, and if my system's down then I never get the email. 
Assuming "people" would ever read this list). But, whatever makes your 
life easier. Fascist.

(I wouldn't normally send this to the list, but there be topical 
discussion below.)

Well, whose fault is it if those English speakers don't have proper 
international font support?

The array needs to stay there, probably in something like its current 
form. Any functions that use parray indices by definition only need a 
key that's valid until the user logs out.
