No, but that is not what you were asking for either. You want to know
what list the message *came* from, not where the reply should go. The
'Reply-To:' field clearly says where the reply should go, and the
'Sender:' field identifies an agent that forwarded the message on behalf
of the original poster.

The users are a more serious concern than the software. It's harder to
change people than computers.
