Yes I see that, but Chris' message looks OK. Jason - you didn't 
perchance Cc: or Bcc: the list when you sent your mail, instead of 
putting it into the To: line?

Why should he not?  I believe Cc: to the list is the usual way any
followup takes.  Also Vicki's message apparently follows the rule.  I
quote from its header:

  From: Vicki Brown <vlb@cfcl.com>
  To:   Chris Nandor <pudge@pobox.com>
  Cc:   jason white <jason.white@usu.edu>,
        macperl-anyperl@macperl.org

And when I do a follow-up (hit 'F' in vm), as in this message, the
following header fields result:

  To:   Vicki Brown <vlb@cfcl.com>
  Cc:   Chris Nandor <pudge@pobox.com>,
        jason white <jason.white@usu.edu>,
        macperl-anyperl@macperl.org
  From: Christian Brechbühler <brech@vision.ee.ethz.ch>

That is, To: the author of the original message, Cc: all its recipients
and ccs.  Now sometimes I take the effort to delete Vicki, Chris, and
Jason, lest they get my message twice, once from me and once from the
list, which might annoy them.



Ob AnyPerl:

Does anyone have a Perl script for changing absolue symbolic links
(called aliases on mac) to their shortest relative equivalent?
Example:  Suppose I have an absolute alias (below in Unix writing):

   /home/brech/perl/folder/li ->  /home/brech/perl/data/file7

and want this changed to the relative

                              -> ../data/file7

with just as few ".."s as possible.  That would make it easy to tar
such a directory.  I'm sure I'm not the first one with this problem.
Sorry, I don't know how to write that in Mac-ish.  Maybe as follows.
  diskX:Christian:Perl:Folder:li  ->  diskX:Christian:Perl:Data:file7
But what about "..", the directory just above?

Thanks

Not that I remember.  Don't usually do that unless I'm bulk mailing and
want everyone to believe they are the only one I send them to.  Now...was
my message sent to the list about <Make Money FAST...this is NOT MLM> or
something like that? ;-)

The answer would be 'no' on the Bcc: at least as far as my coherency is in
tact. Of course, this has been a busy semester!

but while I'm typing let me ask...I saw these lists and signed up in haste
understanding that these more specific lists were going to replace the
all-encompassing MacPerl list as it is.  Is that the case?  Maybe I should
RTFM again (Read The Freaking Mail) again ;-)

Thanks,

Jason
