Yup. I have the same problem with replying via email.

I posted a reply to Don Friedman's message some days ago and realized later 
that it went directly to him rather than the group.

When replying to your message here, I had to manually change the reply address 
to keep from answering you directly.

It appears that the following line is missing from recent headers:

Reply-To: [email protected]

That kinda sounds like it might be something changed in the configuration of 
the list server.

FWIW, using OE's newsgroup reader, though, I'm still getting messages through 
gmane with no problem. I've got it set up to access the news.gmane.org server 
directly.

  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. J 

   

  Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with their email and news 
reader clients recently?

   

  Bye

  Brian
