[+cc postmaster@vger; it looks like messages to the git-list stopped including a Sender header as of a few days ago]

Ah, thanks. I even looked for a Sender header, but I stupidly looked at too-recent messages, which of course didn't have one. :)

According to my local archive, we stopped getting Sender headers around
1600296026 (that's the timestamp when I received it), which was

The message I received right before that was:

which does have a Sender header (note those are out of order if you believe the client-side Date headers).

[RK] Yes, those are the two messages either side of the change as I see it.  
[RK] I'm using Outlook (it's a work computer) so I probably don't have the level of control that some other mail readers do, and everything gets a load of spam-filter headers added, making the headers harder to read.  By adding "To: Git" I seem to have got my filters working again under the new, Sender-less, scheme.  That is even working for messages where the Git list is CC-ed rather than Sent to.


[RK] Regards,
[RK] Richard.
