[NABS-L] Announcing the 2023-2024 Committees!

Tue Aug 8 16:09:42 UTC 2023

Hi Arielle,

I think the list may be doing that for one of two major reasons:

When you create a Gmail account, you get to enter the mailbox name to show up in people's inboxes. I doubt that this is the case because I've received direct emails from the nabs.president at gmail.com account from previous presidents who had changed this setting.

When a person signs up for an NFB mailing list, they type in their name, along with their email address, to subscribe that account to the NFB mailing list. It may be that the mailing list still has the nabs.president at gmail.com address registered with the name of Arielle Silverman, so it's overriding the mailbox name from Gmail to add the name that was used to subscribe the account. If that's the case, a person may want to unsubscribe the account and then resubscribe the account entering a new name in the mailing list signup form. 

Aloha,

Justin

Dear NABSters,
Just taking a moment to laugh at the absurdity of my name showing up as the sender from random NABS president announcements. I have not been NABS president since 2011. That was almost before some of you were born! (Kidding, kind of).
Anyway, sorry for any confusion. Sometimes the lists have a mind of their own.
Best, Arielle
