This regards a very small mailing list -- maybe a dozen subscribers.
One
subscriber (Chuck) has trouble replying to list notes -- his replies
bounce to the list owner. Chuck uses VM, reads/answers email with CMS
commands. I interpret the bounce below to mean that LISTSERV thinks
Chuck's reply is in fact a bounce message from Chuck's email host, since
the list name is found in Sender/From/To in note body. So two questions:

Why is Chuck's email bouncing, since he's hardly the only person
handling
LISTSERV list email with CMS? Does he need to manually trim the header
that's being included in email body? I think he's developed a Pipelines
exit to do this, and this may solve the problem.

Why does this problem happen to Chuck, and not to AOL list subscribers,
since much AOL email seems to include full header text in email body?
