This is somewhat why I committed my FAQ to the auto-posting server, but also due to the fact that I don't have a mail program here that allows addition of the necessary headers.

I set up a reply address at a web based e-mail service for additions or corrections for the FAQ or for other correspondence (most of which turns out now to be spam - and clutters the other fellow's mail box and not mine).

That way if the posting/updating submission address were to change I'd have some latitude on the time frame it got changed.

I also have changes upcoming that need addressing. Maybe we need a new system for dealing with approved FAQs and maintainers to adequately deal with this type of thing that can be automated and not require personal intervention.

A thought.
