[brian carroll <human@electronetwork.org>]

  (list bounces seem to happen if sending e-mail from an
  account not subscribed from. such that, if subbed as
  me@me.net and send to the list from me@me.com, it will

  out. the flow program works well though, and catches
  these posts for authorization. i just haven't had a
  chance to respond to posts yet. thanks for sending. bc
