Hello Douglas,

I'm not sure I understand, how was my message directed to you? Did I
accidentally include your address in the To: field? I shouldn't
have, but if I did, I do apologize.

So long as you have an address in the BCC: field TB will send your
message without complaining. Someone (probably Alexander or Steve)
had posted the appropriate section of the RFCs that covers this
topic. The Archives should hold that info.

I like your idea, "The Name of the Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is
a good way to let the recipient know that it is a mailing list, and
if they hit reply, there should be no problems. Just note that there
probably shouldn't be two < signs. I'm guessing it was a typo. :)

Plus the advantage of getting a copy back is that you can check to
make sure everything went out ok. With TB this isn't a very big deal,
unless you are sending out attachments.

The Purge part goes through and gets rid of excess messages. If you
don't have either "Keep messages in database for xx(days)" or
"Maximum number of messages" then Purge does nothing.
When you hit the delete key, the text is still in your message
database. Compress gets rid of that junk.
