Ok, I get it now. I just wish I could set up something so X-Real-Life-Name
displayed in From in Eudora. I already have a filter that deletes all the
X-Real-Life-Name=Tim Courtney mails I get, to eliminate having to
hand-delete my own posts.
BTW - Eudora/Lugnet question. Of course, the way it threads my posts. Is
there a way I could either fix Eudora or you could tweak the posting

Could there be a feature which automatically follows up to the other groups
posted to when there is no specified followup field in .announce?
