This is from the original email that got my attention, sent to me by person B
(not a member of the list). Since then I have got some others, both from
person B and when I send to and receive from the list.

I think the In-Reply-To: and References: are two different critters. The
In-Reply-to: is legit, but the References: seems to, as Bill noted,
refer to our resubscribe date. I haven't a clue what or why that might
be worth including in a reply-to-list/all. Boggles my getting tinier
mind. Maybe I should up the B1 in my weekly pill-tainer? :)
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
The fact that both Gene and I resubscribed on that date seems significant,
though I don't see how it can relate to person B.
However ... sigh ... it occurs to me that person B has lived in several
places, but is originally from India. And the TDE mailing has been getting
spammed now and then by somebody that seems to be from India. Again, I am
quite sure that she has better things to do, but maybe somebody linked her
emails to me, and my emails to the TDE list?
