Assuming this works, I've found my problem. I was receiving vim postings through an alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] while I always send from [EMAIL PROTECTED] I re-subscribed and noticed the difference in the header of a duplicate message. As for the spam folder, I meant does anyone admin'ing the list look through the rejects to see if anyone is making honest mistakes? Imagining the mountains of spam that must come through, I'm guessing no. That's ok. No complaints, now that I see what's going on. -- Jason Weber
