As far as I know it quotes only the From header of the previous
message, which is already publicly readable?  I have hidden your
address in this case but I don't think you can require others to keep
hidden something which you have publicly disclosed.

If you're referring to the web archive, and the fact that it applies
some simple obfuscation to From: but not to message bodies, then I'll
change my mailer's behaviour if the list owner requests it.

Yes, I see it.  But I did reboot my machine, as the setup program
suggested.

Anyway I moved XWin.exe.new to XWin.exe and I am now running the
latest version.
