[ve-l] Mailing List Addresses

[Barclay M. Thomas]

Peter and anyone else confused by this,
The new protocol for the email servers at National sends out the list  
emails looking as though they are directly addressed to the  
individual subscribers. This is to get around certain ISPs and email  
clients considering all emails addressed as a 'bulk' group to be  
treated as SPAM, and was  explained back when the servers were upgraded.
Maybe one of our List Administrators will chime in with further  
clarification.
It's confusing at first, but if you set up your email program to sort  
the incoming messages (i.e. rule: "From contains ve-1 at usps.org"  
"Subject contains [ve-1]) and have that rule or rules send the  
associated mails to a 'VSC' mailbox, then you're all set. Anything  
from the group goes into that box.
Read, save or delete. Makes archiving the good stuff easy.
