No, that is not the problem. Since I read my mail with full headers using a very "raw" MUA that does *nothing* behind my back, I see what actually happens is this: most list messages arrive with Reply-To: set to the list, but some arrive with Reply-To: listing both the list and the author. Since the Reply-To: header is tweaked by the mailing list software, I can't see how it can behave so inconsistently. Since I am a hard determinist when it comes to computers, the only rational explanation I have is that there must be some differences in the headers of messages before they reach the list that causes the list software to process them differently. But of course in order to pin the problem down, one must see the messages in their original form prior to alteration by the list software, which I cannot do as a mere subscriber, only Jay or other list staff can do that. MS P.S. One thought: when I was designing my own mailing list management software, I implemented a feature by which a list can accept posts from non-subscribers with moderator approval. I implemented it so that it set Reply-To: header to both the list and the author on those approved outsider posts, on the reasoning that the author should see replies but won't see them on the list because he is not subscribed. I don't know anything about the software Jay uses for this list, but there is a chance that its authors followed reasoning similar to mine and the posts arriving with Reply-To: set to the list and the author come from non-subscribers approved by moderators.

more duplicate posts

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

It seems that the duplicate posts fall into two categories... 1) People who were subbed to both lists, and had one of them set to "no email". This wouldn't be a problem, except during the member migration it lost the "no mail" setting. So, please check if you are subbed to both lists, and set one or the other to have the "no mail" flag. or 2) This one seems to be what is hitting a few people. I am not sure why this is happening... but for some people when I get an email from them and I hit "reply", the "to:" address shows their email address AND the list. So I'm actually responding to both places and that's why they get two emails. At this point I'm not sure if my own laptop has started doing something squirrely so that hitting reply picks up the list address AND the senders address, or if it has something to do with the list software, or if it has something to do with the senders setup. But anyways, it just dawned on me that more than a few times when I've hit reply to a post lately, I get the original posters address and the list address, both in the "to" box. Odd. I'll watch for it to happen again. Jay

WoffordWitch.com is now cookieless, stateless, and sessionless

by wacarder＠usit.net

By popular demand, and to prevent further harassment, I have made my http://www.woffordwitch.com site cookieless, sessionless, and stateless. It will no longer prompt you to identify yourself and you may now browse it anonymously. I plan to do more site updates to better document my project(s) in the near future. Ashley
