I wish gnus would have warned me,
before I sent

To: mwei%40lxde.org
Cc: debconf-team <at> lists.debconf.org

sailing off to the mailing list.

Yeah, it bounced, but the Cc: people all got my silly mistake.
(Yes I replaced the %40 I copied elsewhere with a @ later.)

In fact nowadays, most mail addresses have an @ in it.

Most people are the only person on the local machine.

So please warn otherwise.
