That is uncharacteristically stupid.Doh! Gmail has a Reply To: Header.Yes, but not to a null field.
Is that configurable?
know that knowledge is power and fully appreciate that if they siphon /
vacuum the World's email into their own searchable repositories, they
will, in time, become exceedingly wealthy by charging inordinate search
fees, separately no doubt, to all the World's various TLAs etc., etc.
But you *can* set it to be whatever you want, it doesn't need to be your gmail account. The problem then, is, that you can't subscribe to multiple email lists with one account. Oh well, they'll be freely available soon enough.
Never attribute to malice, that which can adequately be explained by

I wish I could, but Google and stupidity are mutually exclusive in the same sentence. They have the highest ratio of Phds to mere-mortals of any company in the world. I think Gmail is a fantastic idea, but I have a very real fear that it will be abused by a "Government of the Day" sometime in the future. The general population of the New World countries have very little appreciation of history and therefore little ability to learn what it has to teach us.
