Several others have made relevant replies while I was on the plane to Montreal, registering for PyCon, attending the opening reception ... Anyway, I wanted to say I agree completely with the above even though the DMARC community does not. That's why I implemented the option in 2.1.16 to wrap the original post as a message/rfc822 part attached to a new message from the list. Unfortunately, when I actually turned this on in response to Yahoo's change in DMARC policy, I got complaints from users of Apple iOS iThings that their mail clients do not deal well with this message, so I reluctantly went the non-compliant mung the From: way. Yesterday I wrote a brief FAQ on this which is at <http://wiki.list.org/x/ggARAQ>. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
