for adding a pre-pended line to the subject. I always wished it did, but the
only option I can do is overriding all subjects to something, but that is
useless to do, because then the topic would not change very easily, and the
archive would become a mess with the same subject over and over. Sorry about
that. I have always had the "X-listmember" in the headers, (just look for
it) or you can use the filter "messages sent to:
<<Address Masked>>" I am willing to change whatever needs
to be changed, to make the list happy.

from another. If I allowed that, then we would get a lot of Spam posted
here. I block about 25 messages a day by only allowed current members to
post. If you see me forward your message, it means you are subscribed under
another address, and need to change it to your current one. Just because
your old address forwards to your new one, doesn't mean the list will
recognize you. To find out what address is currently on the list, read the
header of any message, and the X-listmember line will tell you. Let me know
if you need any help fixing your addresses.

for 2 1/2 years, this coming Saturday. I have been a member since 1996, and
I am not sure if this is the longest running time on the same server or not.
I just remember the list dying out so many times since then. I am very glad
to have the opportunity to keep this list alive, and hope that the current
91 members are satisfied with everything. Please let me know if I can do
anything to help.
