Great that fixed it. Sorry about the subject by the way. I thought
it would auto add the mailing list prefix.
I still can't get the total number of pages to work out right if I
have a title page. I used standardmakeup to keep the title page from
being numbered, but it is still counted in \totalnumberofpages.
\definelayer[headerfooter][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\startsetups layer
\setlayer[headerfooter][preset=lefttop,x=4in,y=1in]%
{\framed[frame=off,width=1.25in,align=middle,offset=none]{\tfd Page~
\pagenumber~of~\totalnumberofpages}}
\stopsetups
\starttext
\startstandardmakeup
\tfd THIS IS A TITLE PAGE
\page
\stopstandardmakeup
\setupbackgrounds[page][setups=layer,background={headerfooter}]
\dorecurse{2}{\page[empty]}
\stoptext

I am trying to use a layer to insert a page number in my document, but the page always displays page number 1. It seems nothing that I have tried has worked. I also don't know how to exclude the first page from the total number of pages count. Here is the code I'm trying to use.
You can find a solution from Aditya under the following link:

I wrote also for myself a short test file for myself a while ago.
\definelayer[head] [width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \definelayer[nexthead][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\startsetups layer
\doif {\pagenumber}{1}{\setlayer[head] [offset=2cm]{First page}} \doifnot{\pagenumber}{1}{\setlayer[nexthead][offset=2cm]{Page \pagenumber}}
\stopsetups
\setupbackgrounds[page][setups=layer,background={head,nexthead}]
\starttext \dorecurse{4}{\page[empty]} \stoptext
