No, it isn't. The mailing-list management software substitutes
e-mail addresses in the mail header.

Same here.

Yes, provided that your CPU is in the family of processors referred
to as i686 (see kernel Documentation), and I bet it is. Else your
original kernel would not be i686 either.

See. 2.4.18-3 kernel is for i686, you installed the newer one
for i386.

It would complain, but you still have the older kernel installed.
That means, you can erase the newer one before you install it again
for i686.
With glibc one way to upgrade from i386 to i686 is to downgrade
(-Uvh --oldpackage glibc*.rpm) first to the previous glibc and then
upgrade normally to the i686 version of the latest glibc erratum.
