That's the problem!
When you said that you tried to answer an e-mail from me, I thought
that you were using the send to respond to the last e-mail I wrote you.
I was!
is the now defunct Staten Island ISP that I
originally signed up with Deja.com - Google Groups.
But -- it is still in your headers -- both in the newsgroups (to
this moment), and in the e-mail which you last sent me -- which appears
to have been sent by you as e-mail in reply to a posting in the newsgroup.
Obviously this time you weren't trying to respond directly to the
e-mail I sent from. But instead via the newsgroups.
I don't *send* e-mail responses to newsgroup postings -- unless
I feel that someone is about to damage some equipment, and want to reach
them as quickly as possible.
I *can't* even send e-mail from the machine which I use for
Newsreading, so I have to jump through hoops to send an e-mail response,
mostly cut-and-paste to another machine.
I was trying to respond to an e-mail which I received -- though
*you* may have sent it from your newsreader, not your e-mail client.
Note the quoted headers (somewhat trimmed -- snips marked) from
your e-mail:

I note that you are using google to read newsgroups, and perhaps
that confused your attempt to post to the newsgroup and turned it into
an e-mail reply instead.
The e-mail you wanted to respond to is
It was not in the headers.
(There was/is no way to change things, but at least I'm not getting all
the spam that probably goes to the original e-mail I had).
There is that.
I'll put the new address onto the bounced e-mail, though we have
moved way past that by now, I think.
*Please* don't send e-mail responses to newsgroup postings. I
prefer to keep those in the newsgroup.
Thanks,
DoN.
