I finally got around to mucking a bit more with my mailer to try
to get the "From: " address a little more sane and make a few
other things nicer. You will see with this issue that:
1) The "From:" address is "[log in to unmask]".
If you are on the Internet, or run pathalias, or have a mailer
that forwards unknown destination mail to a site that's on the
Internet or runs pathalias, a "reply" in your mail program
to any mailing list issue should work just hunky in getting
stuff to me. If it doesn't work under the above situations,
your mailer is busted (eg: your internet facility doesn't
know about the ".ca" domain) or uses the "From " line in
preference to the "From:" line. If your mailer doesn't
do the "right thing", you should mail to:
[log in to unmask]
or
path-to-uunet!uunet!ferret.ocunix.on.ca!ferret-list
depending on whether you're mailer is domain capable or not
respectively.
2) The parenthesized part of the From: address and the Subject:
line work together to make a nice simple concise display
in your mailer's mail header display (eg: mush, mailx, BSD
Mail or elm).
3) I got multi-cast to work better - reduces loading substantially.
