Okay, so, reading between the layers of pasta... yes, I see what you mean. And doing some poking around in MP email headers I can see that the MPs do exactly what we're trying to do here (they're To: [email protected] but they still reach me), so I guess fixing this may be a lot less simple than just hacking mailnotification.py to do what we want. Thanks for explaining this; I'll look into it more tomorrow. And then my head may explode, rather like how a jiffy bag full of lasagne does if you drop it from six feet onto concrete. -- Graham Binns | PGP Key: EC66FA7D _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
