don't respond to mail loops

[David Seubert <seubert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If a listserv goes into a mail loop, the last thing you want to do is 
respond to the message. The autoresponder will just respond to your message 
as well, doubling the number of messages in the mail loop. Look ahead in 
your inbox to see if the problem is already fixed. If not, contact the list 
administrator off-list. Listserv programs are designed to filter out 
autoresponder messages, but sometimes they mess up.
