I looked at the headers for my "Subject: expand changing DOS line >endings to Unix line endings" sent "Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2005 12:27:55 >-0800" when it came back from the list.

I think the problem is that the "From" field shows my address >and/or that there is no "Reply-To" address going to the mailing list >(?). I assume this is to reduce the amount of spam sent to the list >(?). There is a "Mail-Followup-To" pointing to the list address, but I >guess my mailer doesn't use that (?). Yes, not all (many?) email clients pay attention to the "Mail-Followup-To". Anyway, see my comment above about "Reply-To". -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
