BTW, can people _not_ send copies to both the sender and the list.

Clearly if I'm on the list and replying to messages, I don't need to get
two copies of everything!

Sure, if you think that'll send a good image to the recruiters, knock
yourself out.

It'll be most of the time a recruiter or HR person running Word. And
rarely anything else. I've always known if it was something else because I
already knew the people involved.

Possibly worse to do that, depending on whether the export is any good. (I
think it's actually not too bad, but again, you want to send a good image
to the person looking at this. Quirky behaviour because it's been
generated by OOo is Bad.)
