Somehow you're showing up in my inbox and not filtered to the Fedora
Users list. Ric

Probably because you're filtering list mail via the to or from
addresses, rather than one of the list-specific headers.  Careful
filtering using something out of the following would work better.

X-loop: [e-mail]
X-BeenThere: [e-mail]

If you use Evolution, which appears to be the case, you can have them
automatically set up for you.  When you right-click on a message to set
up a rule, go through the options that refer to a mailing list.

Or, they've replied to you directly.

Try the -Y option instead of -X and see if the behaviour improves.

And don't bother with "export DISPLAY=..." because sshd sets $DISPLAY to 
the right value when you're using X forwarding.

Hi Paul

xterm Xt error: Can't open display:

It gave me the above error

Thanks and Regards

I didn't say to unset it; after running ssh, don't change the value it's 
already set to.

Ssh will tunnel the X connection if you leave the DISPLAY
variable alone.  Some things work better if you use -Y
instead of -X.

One more point - if you are using X forwarding in ssh, you do not
need to run "xhost +" on the local host, unless you are running ssh
as a different user then the one logged in under X. If you are going
to run it, run something like "xhost +localhost" or
"xhost +<username>" instead. You probably do not need the extra
security on a home network, but doing things securely is a good
habit to get into.
