Here's what it is:

When I send out the New England Journal of Medicine the From: says that it
is from the New England Journal of Medicine and not [log in to unmask]  It
says that it is TO: the [log in to unmask]  That's all I want to do.
This was set up long before I came and I just review the message each week
and say "OK", and that is how is appears.  Is this smoke and mirrors or just
some PERL script running somewhere else?
