Hi Everyone,
I have an email addressing and header problem with emails and newsgroups
reader from the DP group.
Since the 20th February 2012 if I click reply in Outlook 2003 to a posting
email, instead of the reply addressing ('To:' field) being the 'DataPerfect
Users Discussion Group', the "To:" address is the actual address of the
original sender. I can of course override this and replace it with the
'[email protected]' address, but it is annoying, since clicking reply
works for all messages up until this date but if I click a later dated one
it exhibits the problem. But for the first couple of messages I replied to
since this date I did not even check the dates so they presumably went
directly to the poster, I only noticed the problem when they were not
appearing in my DP email folder.
I have looked at the headers of emails since that date and they are very
different in composition than the ones before.
Once upon a time I used to be smart enough to read the header of an email
and be able to say with someone certainty what it all means, but there are
so many header fields and custom header in mail messages these days that I
have given up. Suffice it to say that the old emails had Header Sections of
about 50 lines long, and the problematic ones are more than 110 lines long.
Its not only the originating email program that writes into the Header
Section of an email; processes along its pathway can add their bit too (even
your own antivirus and spam filters can mess round with it), so the problem
might be somewhere between the DP Mailing list server and my email client.
I also have Outlook Express on my computer which I occasionally use for DP
User Discussions Group postings using its News Reader client, as they seem
to arrive in the news reader far faster than in my email client, so before
replying to a posting I often check if someone else has already done so.
Curiously since the 20th December 2012, no more messages have come from the
gmane.comp.db.dataperfect.general newsgroups, which could I guess be a
problem with my ISPs filtering of newsgroups or something. I think our
federal government has told ISP that they are responsible for filtering out
any banned material, and since Microsoft always seems to hold much sway with
governments and they seem to be wanting to put an end to this obscene MS-DOS
related material, they may have instructed the Australian Government to ban
us. :-)
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with their email and news
reader clients recently?
Bye
Brian
