My info is exactly the same as your screenshot for my name and email 
address, but the sending doesn't work.

Yes and no.    :-D  If I send a post using the wordworks email account 
to the mailing list, it will post.  If I send the identical post from 
the GMANE account, with the wordworks address in the account settings, 
it does *not*post.

I forgot to tell you in a previous reply, the discussion mailing list is 
the only LO list I've subscribed to directly from LO.  All my posts to 
the 3 other lists I follow were done using GMANE.  Except for the very 
earliest posts of mine in the User list.  That was before I found out 
about GMANE.

I followed Sigrid's alternative suggestion, and sent a request.

Yep, know that.  :grin:  I did that originally with the snowshed address 
and then resubscribed using the nomail option.
