Apparently it does since I saw my address in your 'Testing line'.
It is really disconcerting to see your address liberally splashed
all over several posts when you haven't posted in a long
time. Apparently the list maintainers at concensus.com just
upgraded to the lastest version of Lyris (v2.548) and it has a
big time bug. I would hope that the software isn't changing ALL
email addresses that appear within brackets but only if it
matches the posters address. So I'm going to try a different test - I'm going to
put an address slightly different from my own within square
brackets. Can someone tell me if they don't see their address in
the next line?

Testing: [faqmail@landfield.com]
