Why do so many supposedly clueful people have their vacation message
system respond to mailing list email?

Among the ones I found when I looked into the question with some
rigor a few years ago were that mailing list traffic often no longer
has a useful "precedence" value that was used to screen such mail.

Surely regardless of the presence of precedence you would never autoreply to an 
email that wasnt addressed to you personally?
