I think that Paul's reply proves my point.  Since a large majority of
Windows users use Outlook or Outlook express, these are what I mean by
"common Windows email clients".  Eudora does support Resent-headers, but
only after a littel known configuration process similar to the above, which
few users are capable of doing.  PC-Pine of course supports this function
"off-the-shelf" but I submit that the number of PC-Pine users is far smaller
than users of Outlook/OE, Eudora, etc.

Rather than fiddling around with your email client, which is something few
people will want to do and fewer will be able to do, making the right choice
in LISTSERV Send= options seems an easier way to get there.
