Always my problem.

And then I find the 'orribles have used up all the credit, and you can't
top-up a pre-pay online. grr

round - your From: *will* be harvested, and your Reply-to: won't work.)

Do I? Thanks. Will sort it (but haven't as yet!).

Now have tried to, but there doesn't seem a way to do this in my
newsreader! I mean, I can mung the reply-to field, but don't seem to be
able to do the From field. Anybody else use Turnpike and know how to
other than manually every message, which is a bore?

Looks like you've got it just about right now.

For future reference, in Configure/Personalities, highlight the
personality you use here, put the munged (nospam.demon.co.uk) domain in
'Domain', and a suitable, working, but preferably filterable and
disposable address in the 'Reply-to'. If you click on the 'Advanced'
tab you can also change the 'Sender' and the domain used for the Message
ID, both of which are also harvested. Any further questions will get
better answers in demon.ip.support.turnpike.

Use CtrlH on this message to see an example.

This is OT, so follow-ups set to 'poster'.

That doesn't work with Outlook Express. If you "Reply to group" as
usual, it sends a reply to the group (this post) and a separate "cc"
mail to you which annoyingly uses my default mail address rather than
the one I use on usenet. (I've deleted the "cc" address, in case you're
wondering why you haven't received the mail.)

Oh dear. Another 'standard' trampled on by the behemoth.

But thanks for not posting AND mailing - the worst of all outcomes.
