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.
