Just a note to ask those who post to this list and ask that you email
privately to recieve some item, please add your email address to the
bottom of your post. My mailer doesn't print your email address as
sender, just the shadowrn mailer address.

Thanks
Bryan

It's the goddamn stupid way the list puts that Reply-To: header in
there. It shouldn't. Every mail RFC in the world says it shouldn't. And
this is one of the reasons why. But list managers continue to violate
mail RFCs and (re)write Reply-To: headers.
