Jon's email address?

Hello All,

I would like send email to Jon about the proposals for FTIII but I don't have
his email address. Can anyone help?

My address is jon@gzero.dungeon.com; I may be wrong, but I thought it came up
automatically in the header to any message I posted to the list? It certainly
does on the mail program I use.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Jon T.

My very annoying program (from Microsoft) only shows that messages
come from owner-ftgzg-l.  If anyone really wants a response from
email to a list, I'd suggest always giving your email in your signature for
those of us stuck with this. Sometimes I don't
know at all who sent a message--not even a name on the bottom.
I also have to change the To line when I reply, so it doesn't go to the list
owner. Sometimes I forget.

The personal e-mail address is in the headers.  Depending on what your
system does with the SMTP envelope, you may see a line starting "From " which
gives the address the listserver uses to send from, which is also
used in the "Errors-To: " line.  Then a series of "Received: " line
which show the route the e-mail took, and a clutch of header lines
dealing with listserver stuff.

The original e-mail address should be in the "From: " line, with the
listserver address in the "Reply-To: " line.

My software isn't written by Microsoft, and it usually manages to
distinguish between "From " "From: " and "Reply-To: " so I can see the
author's private e-mail address at the tope of the screen.  But it does
sometimes get confused over the difference between an e-mail address and

a name.

So the listserver seems to work according to the relevant standards for
Internet e-mail.  Software which doesn't let you see the header lines
is, IMHO, broken, and it leaves you vulnerable to all sorts of nasty tricks.

It does. For reference, the "FROM:" field for all mail you get from the list
is set to the email address of the person who sent it, the "TO:" field is set
to the list address, as is the "reply to:" field. The only fields
that have owner-ftgzg-l in them are OWNER: SENDER: and ERRORS-TO:.

It may be that your mail client is reading in the "SENDER:" field as the
one you should reply to. It really should use the "reply-to" one
instead. Have a look through any options or preferences your mail client has
to see if you can set which field it uses to decide reply destinations. If you
can't (and this is just my opinion) ditch the mail client forthwith and get
Pegasus email (if youare 16 bit) or Eudora Light 3 (if you are 32 bit) if
you possibly can. They both blow Microsoft Internet Mail /Exchange out
of the water. In fact, I would get one of those over Microsoft's mail clients
if you possibly can anway. They have a lot more to offer.

Must be some way they've configured it here. Thanks, though. andy

This is what I get (and I had to change the To: part before I sent this):
