incoming mail arrives on my machine with a To-address which no longer contains the information of how the sender had originally addressed me, as the intermediate sites often modify the To-address as the mail gets passed on from site to site. I wished all mail would arrive with a header: X-Sent-To: <original To-address used> X-CCed-To: <original CC-address> ..etc.. as this is often the only way I can understand and comment on addressing problem the sender might be having. Often the CC-addresses arrive here mangled, as some sites along the way modify them, but others don't, leaving me to try to hand-knit addresses before I can send a REPLY (to) ALL has this been discussed before? has anyone implemented such? (I might as well start configuring our sendmail.cf do that to encourage others to follow ...) -- --------------------> PREFERED-RETURN-ADDRESS-FOLLOWS <--------------------- (ARPA) werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu (Internet: 128.83.144.1) (INTERNET) werner%rascal.ics.utexas.edu@cs.utexas.edu (UUCP) ..!utastro!werner or ..!uunet!rascal.ics.utexas.edu!werner
