If that can be automated it'd surely make things noticeably less painful.
As is, once somebody's started a multi-list thread, the only way to get
out of trouble is for someone to remember to remove other lists from a
reply ... and even then, if anyone replies to an earlier post, it's a mess
all over again.  But I didn't realize we had the ability to pre-approve
whole threads for this filter?
