1)  I can't remove something I didn't add.  There is no errors-to entry 
within my eudora.ini file, so this header is built by the mail client 
itself.  I can't find any way to get Eudora to not add it (although, by 
making a manual entry in the .ini I can probably specify it to something 
else, which wouldn't be any better than letting Eudora specify it).  I've 
been using Eudora for 6 years and sent and received many thousands and 
thousands of emails in this time, and this is the first time someone has 
tried to blame some mailing list behavior complaint I have on my choice of 
mail client.

This leads me to:

2)  I'm on literally dozens of lists (technical, hobby, high volume, low 
volume, large and small), including lists run on majordomo (1), mailman, 
listserv, listmanager, and yahoogroups.  On none of these other lists do I 
have the bounce problems I'm encountering on *this* list.

Thus, it's still my belief that this list is improperly configured, not my 
mail client.   From this ObList-Manager's perspective, a discussion list 
should *always* make itself the reply recipient for bounces of any messages 
it receives and then retransmits (to addresses unknown to the original 
sender), so that the list manager can address the problem - because ONLY 
the list manager can address the problem (remove the stale addresses).

jc  (wondering how many bounce messages *this* post will trigger)
