This didn't go to the whole list; did you want to send it there?

Bah! I wish I could stop that happening - or at least easily predict and spot *when* it would happen. I think it's when one reply goes to the sender's address as well as the list, and GMail combines these so that the next reply goes only to the person, and not the list. Grrrr...

#REDIRECT [[Foo]] BECAUSE For info on Foo, see [[#Foo]] or maybe #REDIRECT [[Foo]] #BECAUSE For info on Foo, see [[#Foo]] to make it more clear that "#because" is a magic word, not part of the explanation.

Makes sense; I had thought the syntax should allow for arbitrarily long "because" explanations... thus an end delimiter would be of use...

I guess the reason I didn't bother with that is that I can't think of a reason to have content *other than* an explanation on the redirect page. So everything from "#because" to the end of the page can be safely treated as an explanation. As I say, the "#because" is only really there so that existing redirects don't start behaving in ways their creators didn't intend - if designing from scratch, one probably wouldn't use that either.
