Dear pop-forum-posters
Steve Leach innocently used a To: line formatted thus:
To: "popforum" <pop-forum@cs.bham.ac.uk>
If you try to reply to his message, please edit that to read
To: pop-forum@cs.bham.ac.uk
If you must have the angle brackets, make sure there is nothing outside
them.
The reason is that at present the Mail->News gateway here accepts only a
limited range of patterns, and the one used by Steve causes the message
NOT to be posted to comp.lang.pop, even though it is a perfectly legal
email address.
Maybe one day it will be fixed, but the person responsible has too many
other more important things to do.
I have now re-posted to comp.lang.pop (only) Steve's message and two
lots of comments on his message which got blocked in this way.
If I don't do that, the millions of comp.lang.pop readers out there will
be deprived.
I would prefer not to have to!
Thanks.
Aaron
