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:
1. 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(a)shentel.net
which seems to be an email from 2018.
2. 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.
3. 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.
