The message board looks nicely and clean, and I can't remember ever
having seen a message board on the Web, that shows a page that fast,
after clicking at a link. Very nice, thank you!

There is another little issue, though:
Currently, there are many "Guest"s in my e-mail client, including
yourself. smile
While on the message board the 'From:' header field for instance
contains "rds at RapidEuphoria.com", the same message when it comes to
me by mail, in the 'From:' header field just contains
"Guest <guest at RapidEuphoria.com>". The actual sender only can be seen
in the mail body, behind the term 'posted by', but not in the "overview
pane" of my mail client, where only Subject, From, Size, and Date of the
mails are shown.

This only seem to happen with messages directly written on the message
board, while messages sent to EUforum by mail apparently contain the
relevant information in the 'From' field on the message board _and_ when
distributed by mail.

Rob,

I think the Euphoria driven message board is becoming a wonderful
improvement over topica!  But I also see many "Guest"s listed in emails sent
out from the message board, so I'm wondering if it's still too difficult to
have them sent out directly from the message board instead of thru topica?

Check again. 
I fixed that several hours ago.
The "From:" address, when sent from the message board,
now shows, for example:
         John Smith <guest at RapidEuphoria.com>
instead of:
         Guest <guest at RapidEuphoria.com>
so you should see "John Smith" in your e-mail client.
John Smith's correct address (partially obscured) 
is shown by "Posted By:".

When sent via Topica it will show the true address as usual,
with no "Posted By".

Rob:
Bad idea!
Now your posting e-mail addresses on Topica.
Even if a user is not subscribed at Topica.

Oops,  meant to send that earlier, then didn't check to see if it was still
true.  Sorry 'bout that.

I don't know what "idea" you are talking about.
The latest "idea" was to replace:
    From: Guest <guest at RapidEuphoria.com>
with:
    From: Bernie Ryan <guest at RapidEuphoria.com>
so people will see your name (but not your address)
in their e-mail client header information.

A partly concealed version of your address also appears
in the body, but that's been happening for weeks now
with few complaints.
