This is a warning to EAD subscribers about the potential danger
of using the "reply" function in your local email system.
Someone at LC replied to one of the many messages about the
list problem last week and managed to get a "cc:" embedded in the
subject line. (You may have noticed that the problem
messages getting bounced around had "cc:Mail Link to SMTP..." in
the subject line.
This caused the message to the list to be copied to another address
which sent an error message back to the list.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT YOU POST TO THE LIST!!!!!!!!!!!
Try to be sure garbage is not in the subject line or anywhere
else in the message where it might cause havoc. Many delivery
systems enterpret text strings in a message when they occur
in the header. I think some mail systems are picking up the
"cc:" in the Subject line.
