So that you get his response. People sending email to this list don't *have* to be subscribed, though it's encouraged. If you prefer to have replies go to the list and not to you, set the "Reply-To" field to the cygwin list. That'll handle it. >And >why doesn't he use something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] but breaks RFC by supplying >an syntactically correct but not connected address? Chris set the "Reply-To" field. This is appropriate to allow clients to infer the poster's intent and route any replies appropriately. I don't know how gmane works in this regard however. You may need to talk with gmane folks to figure this out. >How about creating an auto-responder [EMAIL PROTECTED] This situation is >rather confusing. Sorry, it's not intended to be. However, now that I pointed out the "Reply-To" field, I expect that helps. No? If not, don't reply to me. You'll be confused again. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
