Ah, I think you may have found a bug in Moz.

Look at other posts of mine and you'll see that the From: line is

Parish <psrish_AT_ntlworld.com>

This post was different (I hadn't spotted this until you pointed it out) 
in that, while composing the message I needed to restart Moz to double 
check my facts, so did File->Send Later, restarted Moz, then Edit 
Message As New from the Unsent Messages folder. This, it seems has 
changed the From: line.

Why? Because when sending e-mails my ISP doesn't allow 
<parish_AT_ntlworld.com>; it bounces messages saying the From: is not a 
valid Internet address (their way of preventing their customers sending 
spam I guess) so I use "NOSPAM" for e-mails. Posting to news.mozilla.org 
allows changing ``@'' to ``_AT_'', even though the messages go out 
through the same SMTP server.

The cause is possibly (probably?) that I have changed the settings for 
news.mozilla.org to use the Sent and Unsent Message folders under my POP 
server instead of in Local Folders.

Is this a bug, or by design? Anyone know?

Thanks for pointing this out Morten.

Regards,

Parish.

Anti-spam e-mail address, change _AT_, sorry for the inconvenience
