Well I was wrong.  Eudora *will* let you edit a "bounced" message
(Eudora calls it "redirecting" the message).  It was something else it
wouldn't let me do in the process that I didn't like, but that's not
really relevant here.  I remembered wrong.

The alternate personality (described very well in the archive post you
reference below) is necessary so that the "Resent-" headers will be
present in the redirected message.  They tell Listserv that you are
sending the post as editor on behalf of the original sender (who may
not have the authority to post directly to the list), and that the
orignal sender's "From:" address is to be respected.

I was around then and I even participated in the thread.  I can't
believe I've been subbed this long already.
