I have now joined a couple of the discussion groups, but haven't had any mail yet - I'll
post it when I do.

I have not had any copies of my messages back from lego-robotics@crynwr.com, apart from
the one my software sends to me automatically (I still have to check to see if it is
dropping the real messages because they are duplicates).

As far as I know there isn't any technical restriction on anything appearing in an X
header.

Let me know if you can't and I'll see if I can post via a different method.
