Yeah, that's a common oversight for web email clients...

In general, any headers from the previous email don't need to be included and
are generally discouraged.  That eliminates allot.  Some email clients, like
Thunderbird, which I use, adds an intro (see above) with a reference to your
previous posting.  Some of them will add email addresses here too.  That's
usually the one that slips through the most.  As a note, removing the address
(i.e. @foo.bar) is all that's required.  The name or id is fine to leave.

You're correct that my email address is not pointing to me.  It's there to
prod anyone replying to reply to the list.  So, fortunately, I won't be seeing
more spam as a result.  The list's address is valid, as you know, though.
So it's good manners to remove this as well as any individual's.

Actually, we draw the line there.  If there's an email address in the sig,
then we assume that the poster doesn't care that the address may be
harvested.  In that case, it's also not too important to pull the same address
out of other spots in the reply. ;-)

It happens.  Don't worry about it.  If it makes you feel better, you're not
the first one to not recognize this.

If 'openssh' is what you want, that's all you need to install (plus whatever
installs by default).
