I assumed that examining the To header is the way it is commonly done
because I didn't set Entourage up to specifically look at To headers - it's
part of the built-in Mailing List Manager. You tell the Mailing List
Manager the list address and it does the rest automatically. But when
people change the To header like Richard did, the Mailing List Manager fails
to file the mail, so it ends up in my In Box.
So I guess someone should tell this to the Entourage team. Anyone know a
contact for Entourage developers I can send a note to?
