First things first. In pine, the "announcement" looked like this in the
index:

17096 Nov 28 PostgreSQL Public (6733) [GENERAL] PostgreSQL Global Developm

I see nothing about 7.3 there. When skimming the mailbox, that's what I
see. I didn't see the actual message until AFTER went looking for it.

When I did find it, this is what I saw when I opened it:
