Hello again,
thanks for your help. I have just a few comments...

I have Pine 3.91 for Unix (running on SunOS). I checked the SETUP/CONFIG
option in the main menu but I couldn't find anything that mentioned rich
headers. The only similar option I found was "[ ] enable-full-headers"
which I have turned on. In any case I didn't manage to actually edit the
headers.

I agree with you. It's always better to resend it back to the original
sender, but in this case I refered to editing such things as wrong
spellings in the topics or in the format/style that I request the
subscribers to abide to when posting to the list. I do not intend to
actually change the content of their mails. In any case it is always a
sensible issue editing/moderating...

I guess this is the field that I would like changed to the original
sender or list (depending on the Reply-To parameter in Listserv). Basically
this would be the headers that I'd like to see sent when I edit the message:
Approved-By: <the editor's address>
From: <the editor's address>
Reply-To: <whatever the Reply-To parameter was set in Listserv>
...
and if possible (does it exist??? Could it be added? Does it make sense?)
Original(ly)-From or Original(ly)-Sent-By: <the original sender's address>
(actually this could be the From as long as Revised-By is there)
Revised-By or Edited-By: <the editor's address>
...or something similar.
What do you think? Looks pretty messy huh?... all I really want is to
keep the same headers as when I just resend it without editing it, and
maybe just add the Revised-By for authorship sake.
Best wishes,
David M
