During today's meeting, I inquired if anyone present administers a
Google Group, as I was pretty confident Google Group permits either
standards-compliant operation or "munging".  People seemed to doubt this.
I just now looked it up, though, and I'm _correct_.  To set
standards-compliant operation (no "munging"; leave subscribers' headers
alone), if one is Manager of a Google Group:"

1. Open the Group.
2. Click Settings, choose "Group Settings".
3. In section Settings, choose "Email Options".
4. In field "Post Replies" choose "to the author of the message only"
   on dropdown menu.
5. Save.

In other words, BerkeleyLUG's mailing list at Google Groups doesn't
_need_ to do "munging".  Someone in charge has made it do that.
(One of the many reasons I love the mutt mailer is that it can be easily
configured to ignore "munging", so mutt users can avoid being hurt by
it.)

Hmmm... it offers several options:
Post replies to
Send replies to group posts to:
All group members
Group managers only
Group owners only
The author of the message only
Sender chooses recipient
A custom address

Well, let's see how "The author of the message only" behaves ...
there, set.
"Sender chooses recipient" sounds also like it may be viable ...
but dear knows if Google Groups does that one reasonably ... or not.
