Hi Nevin, Sorry for the delayed reply. You're right: it was my regexp that was matching too much. Thanks for helping me with the problem! I'm copying this message to the ding list since I think that the current handling of message-dont-reply-to-names (I'll write m-d-r-t-n below) is ``suprising'', if not buggy. I looked briefly in message.el and it seems that the string of addresses are filtered according to m-d-r-t-n and then *later* split into separate email addresses. The advantages of doing it the other way round, i.e. splitting the addresses first and then filtering them one-by-one against m-d-r-t-n are as follows, as I see it: (1) The current setup makes it hard to deal with other people's MUAs mangling my address: " James Leifer" " 'James' Leifer" ... and so on with all manner of bizare stuff before my real email address. If one was matching the addresses separately, I could deal with all that cruft by using the regexp: .*James.Leifer@inria.fr.* (2) I don't think that the change would hurt anyone who is currently happy with their m-d-r-t-n setting. What do you think? -James
