I think what you see is not a bounce back from the list. It is a message that
has been sent out by the list after having received your post, that is sent to
an incorrect address. This rejects the message, and finding your name in the
header, sends it back to you.

In part this seems to be a slight incompatibility between the way the list is
set up and some mail programs we use. Another symptom is that the only way I
can get replies to _some_ messages on this list to go to the list rather than
the individual only is to copy 'alt-photo-process-l@skyway.usask.ca' from the
header and paste it into the 'To' box.
