I "may" be victim of that mass subscribe -- I don't rightly know. Here's what
I experience:
- My gmail account "knows" that I am both [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
- My Google Groups are set to send email to the former but know about the
latter (it appears in the drop-down).
- My @skynet.be address used to be my address-of-record for Vim lists before
the switch to Google groups.
- I can post with @gmail.com in my from-line, but @skynet.be gets a bounce.
I don't really need help, since I can use @gmail.com to post, and Thunderbird
(which reads my Google mail by POP) correctly sets the from-address to
@gmail.com when I reply to a vim-list post. The only time I must pay attention
to which identity I send mail from is when creating a new thread.
Best regards,
Tony.
