I don't know if this is related to LISTSERV, mailer software, my
mail reader (elm) or something else. I sense this is really a question
for my local support folks, but I want to filter out any LISTSERV
internals as possibilities first.
I'm getting usual error messages from the LISTSERV for undeliverable
messages. However, rather than showing up in my mail as a single piece
of mail, the header is missing an entity that the mail is From, with the
result that that message is concatenated to the preceding message. This
has only been occurring for a week or two.
Again, I don't want to make this list go into mail spools, mailers,
and mail readers independent on LISTSERV. I want to know if I can
rule out LISTSERV and pursue the problem with local techies or if it's
a job for a LISTSERV node maintainer.
Clearly it's abberational that "From" doesn't have an id after it.
An edited example (to remove names and unrelated message and change
headers with X's so LISTSERV will post this message to you):
