That is the weird thing. I created a brand-new template, just for the Trinity 
mailing list. To send this email, I created an entirely new email (to strip 
out any metadata), then just copied in the text, addresses, etc.

It did occur to me already that it might be a case of "repurposed" emails; but 
since I've already tried to eliminate that possibility, that seems not to be 
the case. 

Let's see if this email ends up with Gene's address in the headers. 

Bill


P.S. By the way, please call me Bill within the mailing list. I just get in 
the habit of using my full name on "public" or legal documents, but not in 
actual conversation.
