I apologise heartily.  I did not appreciate that it was a private e-mail.
I appreciate what a majorly bad piece of netiquette this is, having
castigated people on newsgroups for it in the past.

Just for the record, when I respond to list messages using Pine, I have to
delete the author's From: (or Reply-to:) line, and replace it with
"sinister" (I usually change my own From: line at this point)  It was just
an automatic reaction when following up your post.

I hope there is no bad-blood between us, as it was not my aim to inflame.
I'm a lovely chap, really.

Rod.
