There is a recurring glitch in my emails, which
involves another person
(person A) here on the mailing list. (I don't name him here, but I have
already contacted him to ask about it.) It involves the mailing list,
maybe, because I only know him from the list, and we have only exchanged
a couple of personal emails outside the list.
Now here is the actual "problem": I have another friend (person B) who is
not a member of the list. When she recently sent me an email from her
phone, the private email address of this first person (person A, a member
of the list) showed up in her (person B's) email headers. There is
absolutely no other connection between these two persons, except of
course for myself.
Hi William,
Your email quoted in part above contains the following headers:
References: <201802171815.09906.gheskett(a)shentel.net>
In-Reply-To: <201802171815.09906.gheskett(a)shentel.net>
Either your KMail is really messed up or you sometimes start an
email and then repurpose it. For example it looks like that email
started as a reply to Gene and then you changed it to go to the
list but it already had the references to Gene in it.
This could explain how references to person A got into your
correspondence with person B.

That is the weird thing. I created a brand-new template, just for the Trinity
mailing list. To send this email, I created an entirely new email (to strip
out any metadata), then just copied in the text, addresses, etc.
It did occur to me already that it might be a case of "repurposed" emails; but
since I've already tried to eliminate that possibility, that seems not to be
the case.
Let's see if this email ends up with Gene's address in the headers.
Bill
P.S. By the way, please call me Bill within the mailing list. I just get in
the habit of using my full name on "public" or legal documents, but not in
actual conversation.
