Multiple emails

[David Kaufman]

Hi all,
   
  Let me say that I did not have the pleasure of knowing Carolyn, but I wish I had seeing all of the messages from other Siouanists about her.  I do have a copy of her Osage Grammar, which I find to be a stellar academic work.
   
  I did have the pleasure of knowing Blair, but unfortunately all too briefly.  My PhD work will focus on an Algonquian language, Mohegan, and Blair had already been very helpful in giving me background on the languages.  I miss his support and helpful advice.
   
  I hope that for the sake of Siouan and linguistic scholarship, their works in progress (Osage, Catawba, Virginian Algonquian) will be passed on to someone who can get them published in their memory.

  Shannon is right on the money. The automated messages will continue until John Koontz reads his email -- which he has not been doing. Messages to his workplace bounce. Someone in Boulder will probably need to phone him. And he should remove Blair from the list at the same time. Until then, just ignore the messages. Gordon (Carolyn's friend) and Blair's relative are just trying to be helpful.

I suspect that someone set up an auto-responder on her email so they
didn't have to personally reply to all her mail. They're identical,
right down to the name + dash in the greeting. It wouldn't be hard to
script that so that it would put the first name of the recipient in the email.

It appears to be taking the response name out of the headers, and
replying to the reply-to. This is going to happen until someone
unsubscribes her email address from the list (John?)
