        Thank you. I will submit a message in your name to the list shortly. 
Since your yahoo address is not subscribed to the list, I will not use 
it. The listserver will reject it. This list is a closed list, only 
subscribers can post. (At least that was my impression when I signed 
up.)

        Just to clarify a bit though, it was not so much for testing as it is 
for demonstration, namely it is not all that hard to make a post that 
looks like it came from someone else. Since the listserver strips much 
of the "evidence" from the original e-mail, this is not hard to do. The 
posted message should look virtually indistinguishable from one of 
yours. Now the e-mail I actually send to the listserver will contain 
enough evidence to show that it was not sent from you. But since the 
listerver strips it off before relaying it on, we will not see it. I 
will also cc myself so we can all see what the original headers were. 
In that case there are tracks left behind that would show that the 
message did not originate with you.
