Encryption of Email Address in Knode using Gmane

[Peter G.]

Perhaps a grey area topic...

I use knode to post to the list using the Gmane 
server.

I have X-Archive: encrypt set in the header section of 
the program configuration. My address used to come out 
encrypted, but since a while (a week or 10 days, 
perhaps), it no longer is encrypted.

Has anyone noticed this? I thought it might be a bug 
in Fedora 24, but I am presently writing from Fedora 
23, with the same result.

I see that some others' addresses are still encrypted, 
but they might not be using knode.

Any ideas what might have happened?

Well, that is strange. Here on fedora.kde my message 
sender is encrypted, while on fedora.testers, it is 
not!!!

Does this have something to do with how the mailing 
list is configured?

Yes, encrypting the e-mail addresses is a per-list server-side setting on 
Gmane, the "X-Archive: encrypt" header is completely ignored.
