I'm afraid you lost me on that one. Could you give an example of
how your mail used to arrive versus how you now receive it? There
have been no listproc changes recently.

********* technical EMAIL details follow.... feel free to skip:

One change is coming soon, though. The listproc currently uses
the "From " line from the header to identify the sender. I will be
changing the system to use the RFC822 "From:" header instead. This
should solve some ongoing problems for people that currently can't
interact with the listserver because their "From " line changes
all the time.

********* END of technical EMAIL details **************

Best regards,
