- and a listserv just seems like the way to do it in 2009
A listserv seems like the way to do it in 1999. Where have these people been? I feel your pain.

hip deep in pie
Does an email coming from a listserv "look" different than a regular incoming email? I actually googled everything I could think of related to .mil emails not accepting listserv messages but found nothing helpful. Maybe I'll just set one up and test it with Joe's email.
My Canadian Gov't email account often marks my listserv mail as probable spam, but that's mainly the spam filters they have set up.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Srsly.
The big thing with a listserv is that the "to" address is the list name rather than your individual address; that's the main thing that allows your mail client to say "hey, this isn't just a normal email". But honestly, especially if we're talking older and not-too-technical ladies, they're either thinking of a policy thing (at a guess, aimed at not signing up for fun mailing lists back when people used one email for everything and mailing lists for fun), or of something misunderstood or very very outdated. If anyone on base has a departmental email address that goes to everyone in the group, that's a listserv. There's absolutely no way that they're actually unable to receive it, whatever the policies may be.

Trust my rage
I think I will just have to test it with Joe's email and see what happens.

Steph, I got an "Black Friday" preview email from Apple today, and it looks like the iTouch is gonna be regular price -- the bene is free shipping. So I'd buy at your store.
MacMall has the 32G iTouch for $278, though I'm not sure if they offer free shipping. And they may drop it more on Friday, though I don't expect it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
