[Localization] User information page for each language

[Yama Ploskonka]

The best solution always is some sort of remailer.  In its simplest 
form, emails sent to the list have their originating email address 
stripped, and get distributed to all the list.  This is one of the 
lesser used options in our version of Mailman, simple to set and have 
running right away.
More sophisticated stuff creates a phantom email address that is 
translated by the server when there is an answer.

I do not believe in having replies go directly to the original mailer as 
a default, to the list only with reply-all, and in this I disagree 
completely with the Mailman strongly suggested option.

I believe in the default reply-to going to the list, and use that in the 
list I administer.  I attribute part of the success of the list on this 
choice, since it makes it easier to communicate with the list than with 
the individual.  That also would avoid you, Sayamindu, getting two 
copies of my reply.
