Actually, the TO field is [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Either your
client or possibly email server (?) is not working correctly if it changes
that address.

What's your setup? (email client, email server, OS)

the 'TO' field is the recipient, of course. the "CC" field is not used,
the "FROM" field is the actual sender. the only thing in the emails that
gives a clue to its origins is the "REPLY-TO" field. my (and many) email
client doesn't filter on this.


besides, it would be nice to look at the one-line summary info (subject,
from, date) and instantly know it's not spam, without relying on
anti-spam software.
