I am a bit guilty of the more formal style of writing myself. It comes with being a High Functioning autistic on top of also being Blind. That being said, I tend to type the same way I speak, which can sometimes put people off. It makes me sound a bit like a know it all. Anyway, that is now out of the way. I haven’t checked to see which MTA this list is using, however, that can be easily ascertained by looking at the raw source for the emails. I think it is still up to RedHat how they handle this as I think they are the ones still hosting this list. Now, if they have updated the MTA since the inception of this list, there might actually be a feature that allows for the munging of the email address itself while leaving the first name, last name field alone. Hopefully, if there is an MTA admin on here, they might be able to inform us if this is possible. -Eric >From the Central Offices of the Technomage Guild, Network tools and research Dept. > On Aug 16, 2022, at 10:41 AM, Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Nope, reads as tildeKyle here with the latest things in Arch though so not sure what happened with some setups to > > That being said, I do feel like people have distinct posting styles.

But as far as I know, I'm one of only two Kyles who would be on this list, and I tend to use the tilde (~) attribution character before my name, something I picked up years ago from one of my social media friends that just kinda stuck. Until recent changes to speech-dispatcher, my signature always said "tilde Kyle," but that seems no longer to work since a few months. >> >> ~Kyle >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Blinux-list mailing list >> Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx >> https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list >> > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
