The current message "From" field contains the name of the original sender but with the encoded address of the list as the email address For example this has Al Kossow via cctalk <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Some email clients have a feature which try to automatically capture the "from" and add them to a local address book.? Thunderbird has 3 layers (at least) of address books.? The "discovered" email addresses as I describe here, the local address book if you use it with your manually added contacts, and finally if you sync it with an outside contact facility such as Google or another server. The addresses from these mailings end up with a number of captured entries in the local address books which don't point back at the actual sender, but to the list.? I've not had it happen many times, but you do have to watch using short names (like if I create an email to "al") that it gets the correct address. I don't recall what the list used to do, but I know there were changes made a few years ago which resulted in this. I don't have a criticism, just an observation to toss in to the mix once the list(s) are migrated to visit this.? I know Jay tore his hair out then, and appreciate this isn't a simple problem (maybe others too). I know Jay mentioned the Discord server which is very active, but I wish that it could be captured as an archive to be perused in the same way as the cctalk list (I have all the emails since I joined), the vcf list (searchable I think mostly by google).? These serve as a great resource, and I'm not sure that the discord server where such information is discussed is captured. thanks Jim
