I know I did, and according to my Sent mail folder I am not totally
nuts.

However, the post that reached this list got the Cc snipped (even
checked the list archives). I do know for a fact that this has not been
the case for a post to another gnome.org mailing list a couple of hours
earlier.

Did someone configure this list to maliciously cripple mails?


I checked the headers, and there are a couple weirdnesses.  a) The Cc
has been removed,  b) The order of the headers are totally mixed and  
c) The Date: header is different.

Yes, in fact. The Message-Id: is *identical*, but the Date: header is
off by one (granted, second). Sent mail folder stored on an IMAP server
(high speed local connection). Even though this might not seem to be
much, I believe this must not happen. Why is the Date: header generated
twice at all??
