That's not unusual at all.  This is a mailing list, not a Usenet
newsgroup, so things sent here quite properly do not have an
"Organisation:" header.  In email, it would, strictly speaking, be
illegal, unless it was "X-Organization:"; in a news posting it would be
required (but could be empty).  Colin's mail didn't have one, yours
didn't, and mine doesn't :-)
