I think you miss my point....

If you look at the emails "From" me they show...

From: Ed Greshko <Ed.Greshko at greshko.com>
To: Fedora <fedora-list at redhat.com>
Reply-To: "Community assistance, encouragement, and advice for using
Fedora." <fedora-list at redhat.com>

And when you reply to that....I'm seeing...

To: Ed Greshko <Ed.Greshko at greshko.com>
Cc: Fedora <fedora-list at redhat.com>

Which isn't what it should be and certainly not what happens with the
vast majority of posters..

Well....  All I know is that yours is the only email/poster where I've
seen this behavior in a very long time....  So, I am more inclined to
expect your end as being the problem....
