Mangled, changed, transformed, mutated.
For a better definition, see "mung" entry in the Jargon File.

Maybe he/she isn't subscribed? Maybe you have a question about his/her
system that you don't think others on the list should see? Maybe you

are more situations when a private reply would be more appropriate than
a list reply.
