How would people like reposts of articles flagged? With all the flavors
of auto unpack running out there, I'd like to minimize the damage but
still let people know, since duplication bothers other people.
I will listen to suggestions, preferable posted here, and then flag
things. Hopefully there's a way which will make everybody happy.

Please make an indication in the "Subject:" line. My personal preference would be to append "(REPOST)" to the "Subject:" line. For example: Subject: v07i133: cmoser, edit CMOS contents (part 01/02) (REPOST) This way it is clearly visable - even when using a newsreader like VN which only shows the "Subject:" line while scanning. car. -- Christopher A.

However, I think some sites (e.g., those using Notes) may chop off subject lines at about 40 characters. Corrections are certainly welcomed here. If this is the case, however, I would think it useful to include the REPOST flag in the "Archive-name:" line as well (assuming this line remains a constant part of postings).
