Actually, I did that manually last time but I've changed the admin
preferences on the list now so all mails get a Reply-To line (I
hope).... I hope most people remember to include the original poster in
the reply when we get a mail from a person not subscribed to the list...

Hmm... are you sure you tested with the latest version of latex-suite?
The latest version "protected" a few letters against expansion at the
beginning of `` and unfortunately, I "protected" the space as well...

But even if you were using an older version,
    :iab 12 twelve
still doesn't work when you press something like 12/ (and '/' is not in
'iskeyword' because `/ is mapped to \frac{}{}).

Yes. I'll put these in the install directions.

I think thats a good idea for the long term... Let's think about it.
