Hi!

Our sysop just installed 3.93 on our unix lan, and I noticed something I
don't like very much.  Maybe someone can help me to get back things like
they used to be in 3.92? ;-)

What happens is that, for the letters _I_ post only, the FROM: field in
the index of the newsgroup is changed into the TO: field.  Here's an
example:

      4 Jun  5 To: ott.general,mtl.g Re: Doug Young
      5 Jun  5 To: Martin Ramshaw    Re: Doug Young
      6 Jun  5 Daniel A. Szpiro      Re: Doug Young
      7 Jun  5 Elie Charest          Re: Doug Young

As you see above, messages number 4 and 5 are mine, number 6 and 7 aren't.
What I awaited to see is:

      4 Jun  5 Patrick Dery          Re: Doug Young
      5 Jun  5 Patrick Dery          Re: Doug Young
      6 Jun  5 Daniel A. Szpiro      Re: Doug Young
      7 Jun  5 Elie Charest          Re: Doug Young

Any idea?  I played with the "view header" thing in the config menu, but
without success.  

Thanks!

This seems to be a regular Q. 

A. Its meant to be that way- we all see our own posts as "to ...." and
everyone elses seem OK.  But to all of your readers the header looks 
just fine...

Personally I think its the development team doing their bit to foster a
little paranoia among newbies to help keep us in our rightful place......
