P.S. I don't know what you did in your post but your Followup-To
header is pointing to a group on gmane which makes extra work for me
replying. Please don't do that.
I'm sorry about that, there is some bad interaction between gmane's
nntp- smtp gateway and python's mail list. I don't know what to do
about it. I think the problem only happens on python's mail list
(I've never seen it reported on any of the MANY other lists I use via
gmane).
Are the other mailing lists gatewayed from Usenet? It may not matter if
there's a followup-to header on a mailing list, it probably just gets
ignored, but it does matter on Usenet (which after all is what Gmane is
emulating).
For the record, it isn't really gatewayed to usenet - it's just allowing you
to read your favorite ML via nntp - which is MUCH more sensible than
actually having all that mail delivered personally to you, if you read a lot
of lists.
python-list is also gatewayed to the real USENET group comp.lang.python in
addition to its GMane gateway. Duncan is reading comp.lang.python from a real
USENET server, not via python-list through his email client. Most of the other
lists you read via GMane aren't gatewayed to the real USENET, so your
Followup-To header never caused a problem for anyone else.
