OK OK pretty OT even for me, but I figure some of you others must have wrestled with this abortion of a MUA and this list so have overcome the same problem I have right now... (I'm currently over in sunny MN on the laptop, otherwise I'd be snug at home with a decent OS and mail client :) All classiccmp messages appear in the message list with the correct sender name (or sender email address if the author's MUA didn't send a 'friendly' name along with the address). That much is fine. However in Outlook's preview pane the From: address always appears as 'cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org' rather than the sender (no other MUA I've ever used with this list has ever done that!) If I double-click on a list message to open in its own window, then I get something different yet again - in the From: field something like: "cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org; on behalf of; Jules Richardson [julesrichardsonuk at yahoo.co.uk]" In other words Outlook seems confused as hell as to how to process mail headers and 'loses' track of who sent the message, deciding instead to think I want to see the fact that it was relayed via the list :( It's particularly irritating if I forward a classiccmp message to anyone as then it does something different *yet again* and includes in the forward text as much as "cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org; on behalf of; Jules Richardson" but loses the actual originator's email address. Grrr! I can't see anything obvious in the settings to fix this so it behaves like any other MUA on the planet though, and Google was of little help. Hopefully others on the list have been forced to use OL2000 too and have found a workaround... (OS is Windows 2k SP4, Outlook is v.9, and I'm not using any kind of intermediate processing of traffic unlike back home, so messages are exaclty as received from yahoo) Suggestions of better Windows MUAs are of course welcome, but I'm *really* tight on disk space so don't want something that comes bundled with a web browser / whatever which I won't use anyway! other than a useless mail client I'm having a ball out here though - although not seen any classic comps yet ;) cheers Jules
