OK, OK, I screwed up. It seems 'inews' here replaced some (not all, just
*some*) of the From: fields with *my* return address. As a result, I
have been inundated with responses to some of the postings. In future, I
will be paying strict attention to inews, and its interpretation of From:
fields. I would also ask that before you reply to a posting, you check
the From: field. If it came from me, chances are, the field is wrong.
Except, of course, for this posting :-)
I seem to remember a similar problem with comp.dcom.telecom some time ago.
Does anyone have any idea what it is that inews didn't like about the
original From: field? Also, in replying to postings, remember that I am
currently clearing out a backlog, so a lot of this stuff is really old.
Thanks...
