| Ever since the mailing list software was changed to say "sender via Digitalmars-d," a number of the messages have been from "via Digitalmars-d" - they're missing the actual sender. And for many of them, the person who sent the message didn't bother to put a signature on it, making it so that you can't tell who it's from. One example of this is the "Enforced @nogc for dtors?" thread. Several of the messages are missing the sender. However, if I look at forum.dlang.org, there are names on those posts - e.g. the two posts by Ola folsheim Grostad have his name on them in the forum, but his name does not show up before "via Digitalmars-d" in the "From" field in the e-mails. So, I'm guessing that he posted via the forum, and his name got lost somehow when the message was translated into an e-mail for the mailing list.
I don't know if this is a problem with the mailing list software, the forum software, or both, but it makes it hard to follow who's saying what. It's bad enough that everyone's names now have "via Digitalmars-d" tacked onto the end of them (since that definitely makes the from field harder to read), but not even putting the senders name in it makes the thread impossible to follow.
So, I'd appreciate it if we could get this problem sorted out sometime soon. Thanks.
