You might want to check your MUA or mailserver settings, Casey; it
appears that PLUG's mailman is eating you from the Return-Path.

as for Gobo, I tried it before. It's been around for almost 20 years. I
personally didn't like its zealous throwing out of the FHS spec because
it made things a pain to debug. It felt like I was just using Cygwin all
over again.

(For those seeking clarification, instead of e.g. putting software
FooBar's docs in /usr/share/doc and binaries in e.g. /usr/bin/, it puts
*all* of them under /Programs/FooBar.)
