[78-L] Solution designed for bounces, from Lennick

[78-L Mail List]

One solution is for us to add our names to the subject line, but very few 
people remember to change that when responding.

I presumably have received the cancellation notice a couple of times at my 
Sympatico address because it's forwarded from Bell Mail (opened in IE) which 
must be on Microsoft. A recent interruption (30 hours on April 3 & 4) kept 
showing a "Microsoft problem" message on the Bell page.

The 78-L emails send to you can no longer have the original sender's address in the From: field, else yahoo, etc will bounce them back to 78-L.

I will have a fix for this soon where the top of the email might have a line added saying the original poster, or have an added header with the original poster.
