From who, and in what context?
You see, I mention this forum every three weeks for the USA TOUR..?

This was me message: "Well, the screen does show up, but it does not turn on. This is due to the b777.PowerOff command in the nav display currently. It is set so if it does not receive power, it does shutoff. Since this plane doesn't have a electrical system like that, and I don't plan on adding one until later, I would like to get it working for now. If you look on http://www.thejabberwocky.net I have thread with some stuff already tried."

Sorry, to correct the message, it was an email from forum@flightgear.org with this message:

"Hi it0uchpods,
Please do not mention the "Free Flight" forum, as they have been poking fun at the FlightGear official forum. Please refrain from pointing others to it, or you may be banned.

Thanks
The FlightGear Team"

So, according to what I've been told "forum@flightgear.org" is in a sense accessible to anyone and the admins/moderators don't use it. In other words they are saying it wasn't one of them who sent it.

Hi 411
Lydiot is correct. That is the email adress from which an email is sent via the forum 'email user' button. Then the reply adress is set to the user who sent the email's private email.

Who exactly sent this email?

Does it not mention a name in it?
Such as this message is from x and the reply adress has been set to x.

If it isn't, it is perhaps a moderator mail from the control panel; seem to remember that from my moderator days at another forum.
