Thanks, Tommie. I (have to) use Outlook here at work, unfortunately. I
guess it is doing what you say. Yech!

The are actually from

postings.

Your email application is playing tricks on you.
ds5j(_at_)excite(_dot_)com doesn't provide a name with his/her postings,
just an email address. Some email tools display something
silly when there is no name (I use Eudora, which by default
fills in missing names with "Some Bozo"), others fill in the
default name in their environment, usually the name of the
user. So, many XSL-List subscribers will see their own names
as the "sender" of ds5j(_at_)excite(_dot_)com's messages. The good news
is that nobody but you will see your name there.
I have asked ds5j(_at_)excite(_dot_)com to put a name on his/her
messages, but don't have any mechanism for automatically
bouncing messages without a sender name.
