Thunderbird did it. Control-U to see the raw message. Clipped address out of the raw header material. Must have included the "mailto:"; in the clip. (It would be sensible of T'bird to correct such an error but that's another world, entirely.)Allegedly, on or about 02 July 2016, Richard sent:No bug here. "mailto" is the URI for email addresses (just as "http" is for urls). The problem was your including that as part of the address you were sending to. From the information provided, the correct address is (simply): package-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Email clients and web browsers understand the "mailto" URI and handle things automatically. When doing a copy/paste you simply need to strip the mail URI.Perhaps not a bug, but certainly peculiar. None of the other email headers that have email addresses in them include a mailto: prefix (to, from, reply-to, in-reply-to, envelope-to, return-path, x-mail-from, numerous received-from headers), only the list-mail identifying additions to the headers. Yet it doesn't appear in the message boilerplate showing in the footer (at the bottom of this message, once it goes through the list server, you'll find: users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx added to the bottom, sans mailto:). You could argue that it *ought* to be present in all of the mail headers (though it's mostly redundant, since there's a header name before the data - to, from, etc.), though it could be useful to something else as the prefix for the message-id, that stops it being misidentified as an email address. The mailto: prefix is something I'm used to seeing in HTML webpages, where *you* are going to click on a rendered link, rather than playing copy and paste with the source. So, thankfully, I'd know to delete it when finding it before an address. I'm not so sure about others, particularly the casual user who subscribed to fix a fault, then cannot figure out how to un-subscribe, and eventually mails the list asking how to stop being spammed (their words).
The really interesting thing is that I resent the message to the correct address as clipped from the header of one of the well over 100 messages today. I got back a reply that I'm not a member of the list. Something is highly schizoid there. Hm, MAYBE I figured it out. I may have subscribed with my junkmail address. Checking.... Send from the junk address - wait for return - Ah so - my bad. I had forgotten I'd used the junkmail address a LONG time ago.
So it's all a non-issue. Sorry to bother people.
{o.o} Shame on me.
