I don't know why.  I just forwarded without editing a post to myself
using Pegasus, and it puts in the same "Resent" headers that Pine does
using its "bounce" command.

Whether Listserv uses your original "From" line in this case, or
substitutes the "Resent-From" line instead, depends on your list
settings, but hopefully if it was working with Pine that's not an
issue.

Since I'm not in a position to use the one list of my own which honors
the original "From:" line in this situation as a testing ground, I
can't prove that it actually works.  But I have both Pine and Pegasus
mail available, there's no significant difference between what Pine
and Pegasus put in the header using these commands.  *That* I've
demonstrated to my satisfaction.
