do you know how I can disable the sending of the messages of the list to my email? I tried in gmane, but couldn't find where I can set it. I also searched on the TDE home page but couldn't find out.
At the bottom of each email from the list it says:
To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@trinitydesktop.org
You need to do this from the address to which the emails were sent.

I believe what's intended is that he doesn't want emails showing his personal email address to anybody indiscriminately; this is a complaint in which I share. He wants (I think) the "to" and "from" to show his name, but then users@trinitydesktop.org as his email address.
In a vain attempt to avert this problem, I created a special email template, with my "Reply to" line specifically using the Trinity users address, but this still only works for when I write to the list using my template. When I send a reply (e.g., this very email), I must make sure to change those lines manually, otherwise my personal email address is revealed, and I get duplicate emails to both the TDE mailing list address and also to my personal email address, so apparently my personal email address is revealed, anyway, almost no matter what I do to prevent it.
At the moment, this creates no real problems, as I find most people on the list are pleasant enough, and I don't mind getting the occasional email, intentional or otherwise, from relative strangers. In the past, however, I used to get a lot of spam and phishing attempts and such, so I would like to avoid them.
If there is some way to make that more permanent (that is, to show my email address only as users@trinitydesktop.org and not as my personal email), then I would like to know, or to have it implemented as a kind of general policy on the list. In the meanwhile, I work with what I have.
