That address is wrong, too; there is no "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
The address was changed automatically, and although I think I know
where, I don't know how or why.

When I replied to the list, I saw that it was also cc'ing to Chuck, but
I didn't pay any attention to the address.  A moment later, I got one of
those "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" messages from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] because there is no user "chuck"
at msgbas2.cos.agilent.com.  Then I looked at his header.

The Mail-Followup-To field that I see in his header is

    Mail-Followup-To: Chuck Fender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, MUTT Users 
            <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

which is strangely different from the one you see.  Looking at the rest
of the header, I see in part:

So, as the message travelled from the list server to me, the Postfix
program at msgbas2.cos.agilent.com apparently decided to rewrite the
Mail-Followup-To field.  As I said, I don't know why.  Maybe some
Postfix expert here can answer this.
