[Mailman-Users] Original sender address stripped from forwardedemails.

[Jeff Thurston]

I get similar results when using mutt... I'm not sure this is completely
related to Outlook either. I guess I just have to keep looking.

This is really a Microsoft Outlook issue, not a Mailman issue. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq02.003.htp>
for more.

Note that the original From: Jon Doe <jdoe at example.com> header is not
altered by Mailman. Mailman adds a Sender: header with the list
bounces address, and MS Outlook chooses to show you that information
rather than the address from the From: header.
