Tell ya what: instead of cussing, why don't you take a look at your own
message headers, which in my newsreader (slrn) include:


NNTP-Posting-Host: mail.python.org
{ should've been your first clue }

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; m18) Gecko/2000...
{ explains a lot...at least about the poster }

List-Help: <mailto:python-list-request at python.org?subject=help>
List-Post: <mailto:python-list at python.org>
List-Subscribe: <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list>...
List-Id: General discussion list for the Python programming language...
List-Unsubscribe: <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list>
List-Archive: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/>

...and this would be the bulk of your help right here.
I'm gonna guess that either you (or possibly someone else) went to
mail.python.org/mailman and signed up to have newsgroup posts sent to
your email.  With me so far?

Now, I've never used Gecko, nor did I find anything from Netscape to be
stable on my Win32 box, but shouldn't it be able to display complete
message headers?

Here's that URL one more time, in case your mail client is bad at
finding URLs...
	http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

And please watch your temper.  One of my favorite things about this
group is that it's not comp.lang.perl.misc where any response you
would've gotten would be either far _more_ sarcastic, a furious rage, or
just plain ignored.

Have a nice day.
