[78-L] Solution designed for bounces, from Lennick (and it really is)

[78-L Mail List]

I just checked my Yahoo mail (only go there every few hours) and noticed that 
none of this thread was showing up there. Only a message titled "Confirm". You 
got it..bounced again, over at Yahoo. So I followed procedure and got THIS in 
reply:
- Results:
     Invalid confirmation string.  Note that confirmation strings expire
approximately 3 days after the initial subscription request.  If your
confirmation has expired, please try to re-submit your original request or
message.

>> THE FIX:  Notice that this message does not say who the original sender is.  This is because the From: header must now say 78-L at 78online.com, and not the email address of the original poster.  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.

>> (1)  For now, please sign your emails to the 78-L list in the body of the email with anything you want,  your nickname, or the first part of your email address, so we know who posts the email.  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.
