Sorry about the off-list, but list policy is to reply publicly, and it
is enforced by munging Reply-To.

Footnotes: 
[1]  Interestingly, it doesn't seem to be a POSIX question, as several
of the references I can find through Google add the caveat that the
"traditional sticky bit is undefined in this standard".
