This setting is one that users specify themselves
(seehttp://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/commandref.htm). I simply took the
liberty of changing everyones settings. More recent subscribers will not
have an [SPM] tag in the subject line of their emails.

I suspect that people actually choose who they send their replies to. If this
was suddenly changed, then there will be a lot more private stuff exposed on
the list. I guess this would make the list a bit more interesting.

I'm not exactly sure how this would be done. I've had a quick look through
the documentation at JISCMail and don't see any options that would allow the
lists to be configured this way.
