Tom, take a look at this message's heades. Do they have the same
problem for you? Note that we have personalization turned on for
mailman-users.
Here's what the relevant headers of you rmessage look like in my mail
reader:
From: "Tom Maddox" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
There is no Reply-To header. Note that Sender reflects the verp'd
envelope recipient, but Outlook probably should not be displaying that
to you. Sender is of little use to most end-users.

Me too! In fact I'm willing to believe that most of your display
problems are bugs in Outlook. I know for a fact that...

...this is an Outlook problem. I tested this with my colleague Tim
Peters, Window user extraordinare and even with Content-Disposition:
inline clues, Outlook[*] still insists on displaying them as
attachments. Standards are for other people, I guess.
Next time I see him, I'll try to convince Tim to subscribe to a
personalized list and look over his shoulder while he views the
messages.

named so similarly? Oh yeah, because that's what customers demanded
