Email address morphing (Was Re: subscribe to list?)

[Jeffrey Deutsch <jd...@gmail.com>]

That happens sometimes not only with Gmail but also Hotmail and
similar services. They're set up to be transparent in the sense that
while the user can specify what address appears in the From: line, the
actual Gmail, Hotmail or other address often shows up easily in the
headers when replying or forwarding the original message.

I believe the idea is preventing people from concealing the true
origins of their messages.
