It was probably my thread, and I wasn't saying that there was a conflict
between LISTSERV and cc:Mail; I was saying that cc:Mail strips *all* the
headers from incoming mail messages, and just gives the user a "From:" line,
which is usually "From: Generic Mailing List". This causes cc:Mail users
(like me) to get all fiery about people signing their posts with their name
and email address, since otherwise there's no way to contact them individually.
 
Other problems with cc:Mail in an internet environment:
Nonstandard quoting (appends original message on the end, instead of
quasi-standard '>' ...)
Internet address management weak at best.
No .sig function
Lack of headers makes automatic message sorting much harder
