Russell: This is my point with headers in Thunderbird. You cannot just turn on the Delivered-to: lines, you have to look at the entire header area. With Earthlink, this can be more than the header buffer in Thunderbird can show and there is no method of scrolling. I tend to look for [Moderated] with no subject line or [Moderated] ENTER SUMMARY HERE. This marks the message, in most cases, as coming from an unsubscribed person or address. In any case, I also make it a point to reply using the originator's address in the Cc area and a short reminder to reply only to the list.
