Which headers? Are you talking about person A's address showing up as the From address of person B's emails? Or some other header?
Yes, person A's (that is, Gene's) address shows up in the headers of somebody else altogether. When person B sends me an email (not a reply), I also get Gene's address in the headers.
Person B doesn't know Gene at all, doesn't know about TDE or the list, and knows hardly anything about computers, hence uses the rotten Apple and sometimes Windoze.
There is absolutely no other connection between these two persons, except of course for myself.
There definitely seems to be something odd with your email headers. I've had a *very* brief look at a few, and:
- Fresh emails from you starting a new thread often contain an
In-Reply-To and Reference header. For instance, in one fresh email from you back in 2020, it included an In-Reply-To pointing to
201802171815.09906.gheskett@shentel.netwhich seems to be an email from 2018.
I did search for this email, and it seems not to exist at all; indeed, never existed, I believe, because I save *almost* everything, except spam and other crap like that.
- When you reply to an existing email, the Reference header refers to
somebody *other* than the person whose email you replied to.
So far as I can tell, this happens only with emails to person B, who doesn't know Gene at all, nor is a common member of any list or group; and now, it seems to happen in these emails to the TDE list.
I did some looking through other emails to the list, though, and it seems to be recent.
- And your emails have what look to me like corrupt header lines, such
as this one:
+h=from:reply-to:to:subject:date:user-agent:references:in-reply-to:mime-ver sion:content-type:message-id;
which nobody else seems to have (at least not in my brief investigation). The leading + sign is actually a space or newline.
I would like to buy a clue here, as I would like to believe that I send and receive emails the same as everybody else.
If there is anything amiss, then I would imagine that maybe it's because I've moved from KDE3 Kmail to TDE Kmail, and copied everything from one machine to another over about 15 years or so.
So something is not happy in your emails.
Unhappy emails, frustrated email user.
