No, you edit the eudora.ini file _once_. Below is my last post from my
archives (which is a reply to my own post) with annotations:

There is a better way: create a "listmgr" persona in Eudora. Instead
of adding
ExtraHeaders=Resent-From: [log in to unmask]  <--- listowner's address
below [Settings] in eudora.ini, add it below [Persona-listmgr]. When
a message from LISTSERV comes in for approval, use <shift-redirect>
and select the "listmgr" personality. Send the (possibly) edited
message to the list. This works just as the above does, but it avoids
the problem of having to either use two versions of Eudora, or having
every message sent out with a "Resent-From:" line. Only those messages
redirected with the "listmgr" personality will have the line inserted.

Sorry I didn't see this the first time, but I don't use Eudora...

In this case, it's Eudora's <shift> "redirect" command. You then choose
the persona you've defined as list manager, and
"Resent-From: [log in to unmask]" gets added to the header.
The "From: ..." line will still show the original sender with a
comment added by Eudora. This list has to be set up appropriately
for "Resent-From: ..." to work, but since you're getting what you
want from Pine and Elm, the list must be set up correctly.

I'm sorry that I didn't make it clear that it's the _listowner's_
address that goes in the ExtraHeader line, not the sender's.

The above works. My co-host uses Eudora Pro and used this method to
moderate the list for months. It's fairly painless.

HTH,
