You are referring to a signature of mine, which I attach to the replies I give to people I can identify as not being subscribed to the mailing list. If you check, you will see these replies are always cc'd to the original poster. The purpose of the signature is to assist these people in understanding where the reply is coming from and offer a pointer to sources which may help them use OOo. You should keep in mind that this _IS_ a mailing list and the fact that it can be accessed through a newsreader is something of a by-product. So it is not surprising, that mailing list posts do not always read the same way in a newsreader, as they would in their intended target. I don't know the technical detail of how posts sent to a news sever reach this list, but your post showed up on the list as coming from a subscribed list member. The header of moderated posts include a line which reads "Delivered-To: moderator for [email protected]". I hope this assists you in understanding the cause of your confusion.
