Check the headers of this message. There should be a "Resent-From: [log in to unmask]"
line. Note that the message was posted with Eudora. To generate this header,
copy eudora.ini to mylist.ini and add the line
ExtraHeaders=Resent-From: [log in to unmask]
just below [Settings]. Start Eudora using mylist.ini and every new message
will have "Resent-From: mjw@BAHNHOF" added to the headers. When a message comes
in for approval, use "Redirect", fill in the list address on the "To:" line,
edit the message (if desired) and send it to the list. The message will show up
on the list as orginating from the orginal poster, and LISTSERV will automatically
remove the boilerplate header it adds to messages sent to the moderator.

If you need "Resent-To:" as well, the line added to mylist.ini would be:
ExtraHeaders=Resent-From: [log in to unmask]\r\nResent-To: any@domain
Note that there are exactly two spaces in the line.

The "ExtraHeaders" feature is documented in Eudora help under eudora.ini|settings.

Hope this helps,
