I've switched on the "reply-to munging" option for the stella-devel
list.  The SourceForge guys recommend against using it because of
"broken" vacation responsers, however, I agree that changing the "To"
line is a pain.

Ah, that's nice to know.  I'll get the collision checking working under
HMOVE blanks.  As I recall, this was working at one point then I did
some optimizations to the TIA code which caused Pole Position and Fatal Run
to start having this missile problem.
