ADMIN Re: [Sigia-l] a plea regarding the list archive & junkmail

[Richard Hill]

I realized that the change mentioned below would make searching by author 
impossible, so I have reversed that change until there is wider discussion 
-- rather than acting ex cathedra.

ADMIN - I just changed the settings in the software, making this an 
"anonymous_list (privacy)"  That will hide the sender of a message, 
replacing it with the list address (Removes From, Sender and Reply-To fields)

I realize this could hinder inter personal communication.  If there are 
comments or suggestions on this, please reply off-list.

This will possibly help for the future.  Since the mail software we use has 
a password protected archive, I'm not sure that is the problem.
