Yes, I'm seeing this too. Seems like gmail introduced this particular feature(?) recently. The warning is technically correct, isn't it? You did not send this message to me - kernelnewbies did! Maybe they overlooked (or don't care about) the fact that mailing lists broadcast messages on behalf of the original sender. Or maybe something will have to change in the way the kernelnewbies mailing list sends out its messages. Regards, Felix.
