Identity of Ogalala2

[Koontz John E]

I notice that Blair Rudes was puzzled as to who ogalala2 at aol.com might be.
I have to confess I had to look it up in the list recipients report
myself:  ogalala2 at aol.com is the email address of Ted Grimm.

The Siouan list supplies only the return address of the sender by way of
identifying the sender.  In some cases this can be rather obscure.  I
don't believe there is anything I can do about this in terms of list
configuration, but users can either (a) modify their email address to
include their name, or (b) sign their contributions in the body of their
letters.

Email addresses of the form

"Name" email_address_proper
Name <email_address_proper>
"Name" <email_address_proper>

are generally accepted by email processors.  Your email program may allow
you to set one of these up explicitly or implicitly, e.g., by entering
your name into one blank in a configuration form and the email address
into another.  It may also be possible to set up your email program to
automatically (implicitly) add a signature text of some sort to your
letters - you've probably noticed these in other folks' mail.  A short
signature including an email address is probably the best idea.

Failing this, I believe subscribers can retrieve the list of subscribers,
including email addresses, by sending to listproc at lists.Colorado.EDU a
message with the body:

recipients siouan

This certainly works for me.  Note that if you include a signature in this
letter, either explicitly or implicitly, it will be parsed as a command to
listproc and generate an error message.  You can ignore the error message.

P.S.

See, I remembered to sign my own letter this time!
