Please don't reply-all on private mail (what this appears to be - interim
mails did not go to Air-L), and then include lists in the CC line.

It's unethical and just makes other list members very, very cranky.  As
does any thread that suggests changing the reply-to bit on any list.

That aside - this ought to be a dead issue.  Don't use mailing lists with
archives for private or might-need-to-be-private correspondence that might
endanger lives or well-being of others.  The information *will* leak.  In
fact - I would suggest not using mail for this sort of issue at all,
regardless of whether it's a list or has archives or not.  The trail of
cleartext bits and routing information is too easily exploited.
