I like changing the subject line, and i may as well emphasise the
importance of replying to the list so that the mailing list becomes a
crude archive of past questions AND answers.
It is also important to note that everything on the list gets publically
archived every Word and every Link in effect an advertisement for Abiword.

No! For the love of God, please no!
I think now is the perfect time to use a quote that amused me and i
clipped from another list:
>> Yes, I would appreciate seeing personal and confidential e-mails
>> accidentally misdirected to the list membershp, not to mention amusing
>> mail loops caused by defective "vacation" programs. These things would
>> enrich my life immensely.
If it means that people hit the reply-to button instead and i have to
suffer a few extra CarbonCopies then so be it but i really think setting
the Reply-To is a terrible idea.

As for the signature if you are going to change it you may as well aslo
make it simpler by turning it into a proper mailto link
mailto:abiword-user-request@abisource.com?body=unsubscribe
Mozilla mail users might want to vote for the Reply-to-list feature
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45715
Actually from looking at the mozilla bug report i think we might need to
add an extra header to allow the Reply-to-list feature to work.
