Please wrap your lines to under 80 characters, and trim quoted material
that you're not replying to. In other words, you really need to learn
to use your mail program.
By the way, "everyone else is broken, we should be broken too" doesn't
fly. If you have to type in the list address manually, then you have a
mail program missing features, and should find one that does what you
need.
Are you really incapable of directing your own mail where you want it
to go?

A signature should be a maximum of four lines, and the delimiter is
"-- ", not "--".
Get mail clue, ok?
