Except that this step isn't happening right now. The server doesn't
actually know that this post is from member 179 - it just knows that
this email addressed has been allowed to post with these headers.
Yes, updating the posting setup form to save your member ID (you'd have
to do the setup while logged in) would solve this problem. But I'd need
the administration's permission before looking at that code.
