As I said, the FROM field will point to the LMON maintainer because he is
really the person to be addressed for the unavoidable questions of "When will
my file be released? Could you exceptionally release it now? Why not?". Such
inquiries will have little effect if sent to the LISTSERV reader :-)
The problem with conventions is that when they don't exist, they take years
to implement. Just look at the time it takes BITNET to update its mailer
tables (Gaussian law on the percentage of sites having updated :-) ). So you
can't rely on such a convention unless it already exists when you write the
software... :-(
