These are not the From:, they are the Reply-to:.

I see the names in my email that every message is from. Perhaps it's some setting in your email package. I'm using Thunderbird.

Here is an entire header from the email that I am replying to. As you can see, the From: line has your email address in it. The Reply- To: is the one you are listing above. (I'm going to obscure your address just a little...)

Hi Phil,

I'm not talking about my e-mail client (I'm not subscribed
to the user list), this was a cut&paste from the *archive page*
of the user list.

Compare the dev list with the user list:

- dev:

As you can see, the dev list has proper names of sender,
while the user list is completely blind and sender is
always the same generic address. IOW, the archive page
of users list cannot easily be used in practice to lookup
information.

Brgds,
Viktor
