Not sure that it is not relevant.  For example,  I copy below part of
the header of your message:

To: "[log in to unmask]" <[log in to unmask]>

You will notice that the [To:] field is set in the header in an incoming
message.

Another possibility is the [Sender] field,  in the case of gp-uk it is
[log in to unmask]

In some of my mailing lists,  I set the [From] field to be from the list
and the individual sender appears in the body of the message.  Very easy
to do.  Perhaps the Fab Trio can look into it?

Usually,  but irritating when the sender sets the [reply to] field to
sender's address.

My mail client presents me with a list of all the e-mail addresses in
the message and allows me to pick one or more or all to reply to.  Very
useful in gp-uk.

Again,  very easy to do.  I try to put as much information about the
list in the header to make easy for subscribers and sometimes it helps
certain mail servers from rejecting the post as spam,  usually ac.uk
servers.

That much?  ;-)

Had lots of problems with Outlook,  including the 98 Beta;  that's why I
ain't an Outlook user!  Sorry,  can't help you :-)
