I think that's more a reflection on the way things are done in the MS
Windows world: the last program to install itself wins. Which leads to
the usual 1st trouble shooting step on Windows after seeing if a
rebooting helps: try uninstalling then reinstalling the program. Then
the program you are trying to use becomes the last thing to be installed
and magically wins again (but by breaking the previously installed
conflicting software). Of course with Linux rpm/deb package managed
system uninstalling and reinstalling typically does not change
anything, you usually would have more luck renaming away ~/.foorc/
and starting fresh that way.

ps- wrt fubared email header handling explained in the links below, I
notice gmail is now complaining about gmail addresses resent from
Mailman too. (your post MarkusM showed up with a <!>spoof warning in
gmail) See the last link for Mailman config workaround (they just put
out a new band-aid release).

Thought I should join the Yahoo mail diaspora before 30 days
worth of my emails got flushed from everyone's spam boxes never
to be seen again. In the last weeks some have made it to the ML
archives at least, if not to end recipients. Others seem to have
just disappeared into /dev/null. It didn't help that the web
interface had become an unusable gibberish of broken JavaScript
and their IMAP would only transfer the oldest 4% of my inbox.
