[MLB-WIRELESS] Ack, dag nabbit! the mailing list is ruined my emailaddress.

[Steven Haigh]

This has been discussed to death in the past.

It was decided that because there are many broken email clients that do
cannot send a reply to the original sender, that the list should not
re-write the sender address.

IPv6 or web board anyone? ;)
