this doesn't work, because the "out of office autoreply" messages are
not sent via the list server - they are sent directly to the author of 
the subject message. 

This is arguably another problem with such messages - they should probably 
go to the envelope return address (from the SMTP MAIL FROM command or the
return-path header field) rather than to the author's address (from the
>From header field).
