Even worse: I just noticed that all those check+* addresses clutter the "assigned-to" drop-down list. :-( I have now changed my account name to "olli" (which is my real username on this machine). Would you please remove all the remaining "check+*" accounts, Simon? Thanks!

The only practical > solution would be: always use the same email address :) Hm. Do you think it would be possible to parse another header line (if present) for the account name? Something like this: X-Roundup-Account: olli Of course,the NNTP <-> mailing list gateway would have to preserve that header (I'm posting via the news server, not via the mailing list).

That would be an ugly hack, and potentially dangerous. (And it wouldn't even work correctly on my machine, because the "check" part of the "check+xyz" string is not a username, it's a facility. The actual username is encoded within in the hash.) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
