Re: Rants from Alfred

[Bas Wijnen]

Hello,

Perhaps there is some confusion about this.  Personally, I sort my incoming
e-mails with procmail based on their X-BeenThere: field.  All list postings
have it.

However, the list filters the headers of e-mails, and by default doesn't send
them to people who are also in the To: or Cc: header.  This means that when
people reply-to-all to my list postings, they arrive directly in my normal
mail box, and they don't arrive in my list box (because the list didn't send
them to me).  This does not mean they didn't go to the list.

This may have happened to Jonathan, and he may have (incorrectly) concluded
that the mails were private (without looking at the headers).

Thanks,
Bas

I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org).
If you have problems reading my e-mail, use a better reader.
Please send the central message of e-mails as plain text
   in the message body, not as HTML and definitely not as MS Word.
Please do not use the MS Word format for attachments either.
