I have no idea what ezmlm or your ezmlm<=>news gateway may have done. I know no details of ezmlm at all. > could this also be a thunderbird bug? It is normal for messages in newsgroups to have a Newsgroups: header with the name of the group. RFC 5536 and its predecessors, RFCs 1036 and 1849 require it. I don't know what version of T'bird you are using, but with T'bird 11.0 and 11.0.1, at least as configured on my workstations, if I 'Reply' to a message containing the headers: From: Original Poster <[email protected]> Newsgroups: linux-31 To: [email protected] List-Post: <mailto:[email protected]> the reply is addressed only To: Original Poster <[email protected]> If I 'Reply List', the reply is addressed To: [email protected] Newsgroup: linux-31 and if I 'Reply All', the reply is addressed To: Original Poster <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Newsgroup: linux-31 Some other MUAs, e.g. mutt, ignore the Newsgroups: header when generating replies. Note that I don't see an extra To: in any of the above; just sometimes Newsgroup: in addition to To: T'bird's behavior doesn't seem unreasonable, but if you don't like it, that's not really a Mailman issue. If you wish to remove the Newsgroups: header from messages passing through Mailman, I've told you how to do it in my prior reply. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
