Hi! The following headers are from a posting by John Young
that looks like it was sent to cypherpunks@toad.com,
forwarded to cypherpunks@sirius.infonex.com and/or
cypherpunks@cyberpass.net, and has the Reply-To: header
set to reply to cypherpunks@toad.com instead of to John Young....
It looks like the obvious implementation of cypherpunks-style mail header
patching, but isn't quite right..... Leads to people sending
their John Young mailbot requests to cypherpunks@toad.com instead,
as some well-known cypherpunks have mistakenly done recently :-)

this is what Lance said he would do... until toad.com shuts down,
you address all messages to cypherpunks@toad.com to avoid overlap.
toad.com was never set up to show cypherpunks@road.com in the
"Reply-To: " field, but it should have been.
mailing lists then have the "From: " field from the original sender,
and the "Reply-To: " to the list. Now, there are reasons some list
operators do not change the reply field --usually in the hope any
responders will not notice the list is not being copied....in just
turns into private mail.
for the almost 20 years I been playing with mail lists of various
sorts starting with simple inbound scoop and explode to list,
Lance's convention has been the norm.
attila gone...
