Mark, this list member lives in the UK, & it's late there now, but
hopefully he'll do as I request & post w/his phone to the list at his
earliest convenience. I do suspect it is something w/the phone
reply-to: header, though I can't say I understand precisely what at
this point. Seems as though we arrived at the same conclusion
independently lol. Talk about a head-banger! Kind of interesting,
though. I'm not familiar w/k-9--is this a user agent you've seen?
It'll be interesting to see if this is an isolated event due to a
misconfigured reply-to: header or if there are others who are
experiencing anything remotely similar.

I had looked at Ubuntu & couldn't find anything more recent than the
version I already have. But I'm not entirely certain that a later
version would address something like this anyway. I'd have installed
it from source if I thought it would've, truth be told.
