61 and amidst the headers there's no usual mailing list IDs et al, as is usually
62 the case:
63 ==================================================
64 List-Post: <mailto:gentoo-user@l.g.o>
65 List-Help: <mailto:gentoo-user+help@l.g.o>
66 List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:gentoo-user+unsubscribe@l.g.o>

69 X-BeenThere: gentoo-user@l.g.o
70 Reply-to: gentoo-user@l.g.o
71 ==================================================
72
73 So, when I enter "l" the response is set directly to Alan, instead of Gentoo
74 Users M/L.
75
76 Alan, any idea why this is so? Do you intentionally copy me in your responses
77 to the list?
