As to tracing it from the headers, we would need the actual e-mail
sent to the listserver itself, not the one sent to us via the
listserver. The listserver removes the header from the e-mail it
receives and then forwards to us just the contents. The only headers
you see are from the listserve to your inbox. Since e-mail return
addresses are trivial to forge, the presence of an AOL return address
is quite meaningless in this circumstance. I could easily send a
message with an AOL address from my Earthlink account, for example.

Nor as one who would mis-spell her own name. The poster typed
"Knustson" or perhaps is was "Knuston". I have since deleted the post,
so I cannot refer back to it. Anyway, I thought that was rather odd.
Even lousy typists usually manage to type their own names correctly.
