To me, as I sit behind some kind of firewall, the header of your message
looks like this:
>From: REML @ SMTP (REML) {rp-adm@bart.lpt.fi}
>To: rp-ml @ SMTP (rp-ml) {rp-ml@bart.lpt.fi}
As you see, your original address disappeared.
I know I am not the only one who is suffering from such
misconfigurations.
Anyway, with over 1000 subscribers and heavy traffic (had over 40 mails
after one day office leave),
I suggest:
1.) To let EVERYBODY write his/her e-mail address below their message, as
you did.
2.) To convert rp-ml into a Usenet newsgroup. (PC-based newsreaders are
now easily available; there is Newsagent from Forte, or you can use
Netscape news).
3.) To distribute a daily digest via e-mail
4.) To find mechanisms that will make it possible to use the full
functionality of the new rp-ml newsgroup via e-mail, so people with no
other Internet access than e-mail could participate like in the old days.
Do others want this, too ?
Is this technically possible ?
Would the guys in Finland be able & willing to go for it ?
With kind regards, Juergen Bauer
