It appeared to me that those addresses in both the From: and Reply-To: headers were artifacts of some MUA. I didn't want to say anything about that because I didn't want to draw attention to something you were probably trying to not expose. I suspect the following scenario is responsible: You compose an email using an HTML (rich-text) editor. The editor represents '[email protected]' as '<a href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a>' in the raw html it is composing. I.e., it is a hyperlink. You obfuscate the address to '[email protected]'. This changes the html to '<a href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a>' so you see '[email protected]' in your composition window, but it is still a mailto link to '[email protected]' You send the message and your MUA creates a plain text alternative in which the html hyperlink is rendered as '[email protected] <[email protected]>'. The list's content filtering selects the plain text alternative for delivery to the list. I tell my users to ALWAYS compose list mail using a plain text editor. That way you see what will actually go to the list. In this case, Gmail thwarted your intent. I have users on my lists that use Yahoo and drag and drop links into their posts and the links don't appear in the plain text at all. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
