OK I am sending this by email to the mailing list, and I have set a message-id on it which will be something like *richmond.this-is-a-message-id.example.com but I am expecting that this message id will be replaced with one from the mail system like mailman.2516.1584004990.2412.info-gnus-engl...@gnu.org, but you won't see that if you look at it in email I think, only if you look at the news server at news.gnus.org. On there the original message-id will be copied into references. Time will tell... _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
