Thanks, Mark. As usual, your reply was rapid and helpful. I infer that you don't see the instability that my subscriber does.
I'm pretty sure I don't, but I'm not completely certain I would notice.
Do (can?) email providers passing the posts to the subscriber alter the headers in ways that might lead to that unstable behavior?
It is possible, but I don't think likely that the final mail delivery agent would do this. It's also almost certain that no intermediate MTA is doing it.
Or can it occur because of the way T-bird tries to help the user associate display names with email addresses--autofill and address book automation?
That seems unlikely since those things would be tied to the email address which is always the same list posting address.
Do you have those kind of features turned off in your T-bird? Or is it more likely that the subscriber makes some mistakes that get interpreted as needing a change in From displays? Because only one of my subscribers is complaining regularly, it's not very important for me to do anything, but I'm still curious about the origin of this behavior.
I don't think I have any non-default settings in my T-bird, and I do have address book entries for various lists and I don't see T-bird showing messages From the display names in my address book.
I am curious as to what the complaint is. Does the user feel that something important is missing or is the concern just the inconsistency?
Also, is there any correlation between the inconsistent behavior and what the poster's name is?
