Interesting. The problem is definitely not on your end at all, though I
first noticed this with your recent posts. Other posts are showing up a
bit weirdly too. The problem appears to be partly in my Thunderbird
client, and partly the mailing list gateway. And maybe Gmail is
screwing things up too. Usenet-orginating posts look fine. For example:
From: Marko Rauhamaa <marko at pacujo.net>
Newsgroups: comp.lang.python
Whereas email ones are sometimes looking like this:
From: Mark Lawrence via Python-list <python-list at python.org>
Reply-To: Mark Lawrence <breamoreboy at yahoo.co.uk>
Thunderbird on my machine is only seeing the From email address
(python-list at python.org) and I must have that in my address list
somewhere as "python."
What's odder is that my own messages show up as "From:
torriem at gmail.com" and not "via Python-list <python-list at python.org>".
