Well, this is interesting... I just received a "Sorry, Access Denied" from alanconnor@earthlink.net when I wasn't aware of having sent him anything (see attachment). How come...? My mail filtering inserts a "Reply-To: <list-address>" header into list mails, so I just hit 'r' and it automatically goes to the list. Turns out that Alan's list posts have a "Reply-To: alanconnor@earthlink.net" header, so when I hit 'r' to reply to one of his posts, it went to him direct as well as to the list, and I hadn't noticed. Now... do I change my mail filtering settings, or start a flamewar about Reply-To headers in list posts in conjunction with challenge-response systems? :-) -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
