OK. Let's hope they get it fixed quickly.

Speaking of the mailing list software:

Are developers of the software aware of the fact that the mailing
list software seems to rewrite the From: header to the primary
email address of the tigris account when it forwards messages to the
list, regardless of which address the sender did actually put in
the From header when sending the mail? That's not really that great.

(Mark, you should get two copies of this mail, the list copy coming
from another my elego address, and the other copy from another address.)
