Something somewhere is slightly broken -- I did a reply-all, as is my 
habit, and failed to notice that infrastructures@mailman.terraluna.org 
was spuriously included in the recipients list.  The only recipient 
should have been infrastructures-request@terraluna.org.  A simple reply 
to sender sends only to the latter, proper address.

It appears likely that the problem is this header in the confirmation 
email sent to me by infrastructures-request@TerraLuna.Org:

  List-Post: <mailto:infrastructures@mailman.terraluna.org>

I'm guessing my mail reader (kmail) helpfully inserts the List-Post 
address when I do a reply-all.  At any rate, the other mailman lists I 
subscribe to do *not* include this header in the subscription 
confirmation email, and I do *not* have the problem you saw here today.  
All lists *do* include this header in actual mail to the list itself 
(as opposed to mail from mailman).

Perhaps this is a function of terraluna's version of mailman being 
pretty old (2.0.5 versus the current 2.1.6).  2.0.5 appears to be about 
four years old -- might it be time for an upgrade? :)

P.S. There's yer message body. ;)
