Yes, that is most annoying. My complaint (and I guess many more from other
users will follow) is, that if you reply to a message on the list, the
author of that message gets a private mail, too, as he is listed in the
Reply-To:-field. This is *wrong* and must be corrected (i.e. removed)!
(BTW this reply to Alfed's mail is to one sent to me privately because of
that error).
And all the bounce addresses are set to
cctalk-bounces+foo=bar at classiccmp.org where foo=bar is the user
sending the message.
No, the Envelope-From: only has "cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org", there's
no "+foo=bar" in it.
And yes, the change in the address fields don't cure the bounce problem
because the envelope from field is unchanged (and *that* field is used for
bounces, not the header fields *within* the mail).
