Nit picking time. Not everyone on the list can use the reply to get back
to the original author, case in point is the above post. I don't know who
wrote it, the from is (email redacted). So for us
guys that are stuck with brain-dead mail programs (on PCs) could everyone
please sign their message and at least include a return path, no long
.sig's are required. It sure makes it easier...

The From: line on an outgoing Fordnatics post is the original. I add a
Sender: line pointing to fordnatics-request. This is all strictly
legitimate under RFC 822, and works well with most Internet mail
software.

However, I realize that not all Fordnatics readers have perfectly
compatible software. I'm open to changing the Fordnatics envelope if
there is a compelling need. It's trivial to add a trailer line with the
original sender's address. Likewise, the digest envelope can be changed
if needed. Shall I?
