Mail "from" "FilePro Mailing List"

| posts have their own "from" address, as expected.
| 
| Note, too, that e-mails which he sent to both me and the list, arrive with
| the correct "from" for the path that comes straight to me, yet the incorrect
| "from" for the one that took the path through the mailing list.  They
| arrived with identical Message-IDs.

| Any ideas?

This is the From: Header in his posts.

	From: Mike Fedkiw via Filepro-list <filepro-list at lists.celestial.com>

My MUA, mutt, shows this in the message index:

  ... Sep24 filePro Mailing L 21 last update using get next from a differen

This is because mutt is reading my MuttAliases file, and finds my 'fp'
alias.

	alias fp   filePro Mailing List <filepro-list at lists.celestial.com>
	
So mutt is matching on the totally incorrect email address that Mike is
mistakenly using as his own, and displays (part of) 'filePro Mailing List'.

If I hit 'R' to reply to one of his postings, my messages gets this
header:

	To: Mike Fedkiw via Filepro-list <filepro-list at lists.celestial.com>

So I can;t even enaswer him directly, since he's obliterated his email
address with that "via ...'  attached to his name.

Mike, take that "via ..." nonsense out of your From: line.
