FWIW, this may be a Mozilla artifact.  Mozilla collects addresses from 
mail you read, and somehow I've managed to also get Christopher's name 
associated with cygwin AT cygwin DOT com in my address book.  I dutifully take 
it out when I mail to the list, but someone less alert may miss this.  I 
guess, in looking at Pete's headers, he's running exim.  Maybe it's 
exhibiting similar behavior.
