The linux.newbie ng is a private mailing lists here at tcob1.net. I run a BBS and the mailing list get sent to Fidonet and a couple of other similar networks. I must strip that header and maybe a couple of others

Because the message I was responding to came via this unfamiliar-to-me newsgroup, rather than directly to the list, I replied to both the group and the poster's address. The reply to the poster bounced. Because I don't know how this newsgroup works, I don't know if he saw it. In stripping that header, you might want also to look at how the From: header is being handled ... I have no way of knowing why the bounce happened (that is, whether the bad From: address was caused by the newsgroup processing, or if the poster just used a bogus address).

He does, any posting to the list which arrives here goes to the newsgroups, gated via hamster currently. It is then converted to FTN technology (http://www.fidonet.ca) and sent to hundreds of BBS systems around the world.

Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
A: Why is top posting frowned upon?
