   I have a question: does the program which posts bug reports mailed to
   bug-gdb@prep and the other GNU mailing lists strip the "From:" line
   from the mail message before posting?  If it doesn't, then that article
   will never be propagated to any machine that the mail message went
   through on its way to prep!

This is not true.  Perhaps you are confusing the way USENET netnews works
with the way mailing lists works.

   The reason I ask is because I mailed some bug reports to bug-gdb
   last week and have never seen them appear in gnu.gdb.bug, but today
   I got mail that implied that someone else had seen them.
