Because the message I was responding to came via this unfamiliar-to-me 
newsgroup, rather than directly to the list, I replied to both the group 
and the poster's address. The reply to the poster bounced. Because I don't 
know how this newsgroup works, I don't know if he saw it. In stripping that 
header, you might want also to look at how the From: header is being 
handled ... I have no way of knowing why the bounce happened (that is, 
whether the bad From: address was caused by the newsgroup processing, or if 
the poster just used a bogus address).
