You is welcome to scrutinize your mail headers with a hex editor if that is your thing. Or, if you've never seen the person's name before, just cc them on the response. Either way is fine. Also, note that looking at the headers is not a guaranteed thing, since it is possible they posted, noticed they did not see a response and then figured out that they needed to subscribe and did so. -Rob > Thanks! > Dave > > >> >>> But one clue might be whether the poster is a familiar >>> name, or whether you are seeing the name for the first time.
