	Actually, in the case of a digest, Mailman would be the 
originator of the message, and put its address in the "From:" field, 
leaving the "Sender:" field blank.  The individual messages in the 
digest would have their own "From:" and possibly "Sender:" fields, 
but those would not be promoted to the digest itself.

	There's just no way you can do digests using any other method.

	But, most of what we've been talking about so far has to do with 
regular list activity with regards to individual messages, and not 
digests.
