intertwingly

In order to moderate a W3C mailing list, one needs to be able to bounce a message.  This apparently isn’t directly possible with gmail, but can be worked around manually:

• From the message dropdown, select Show original, then from the browser select Save Page As....
• With a text editor, find the line containing X-From_:.  Copy this line to the top of the file, then modify that first line by removing the X- and _: characters.  Save the file.
• Now you case use mutt on that file (example: mutt -f mail.google.com) and use the b command to bounce the message.  Enter the name of the mailing list (example: public-html@w3.org), press enter and then y to confirm.

Perhaps if I need to do this often enough, I’ll automate the process, but for now these notes will help should I need to do the process again in the future.
