Sorry I guess I should clarify. I have the discussion list set to  
anonymous. Because I want email sent from the list email and replied  
back to the list rather than the poster (so every one gets all posts  
and replies). But I want the senders real name inserted into the  
header, message, or footer (as a forced signature in a way). It will  
dummy proof the list. Because the members of the site will forget to  
sign the email or forget to CC to the list when replying. But it is  
important to identify the sender. For several reasons, mainly because  
the members of the list are competing businesses and they will want to  
know exactly who they are replying to.

I know all this defeats the purpose of an anonymous list. But it has  
to be as easy as possible or the members won't use it. So what ever I  
can do to insure this will make every thing better.
