Hi, Dan!
 
At IPCT-L we have deliberately stuctured the macros in our mailers
(both vms and unix) to put the list name in the outgoing "From" and
"Reply-to" lines...and the incoming "Sender" information as the first
line in the text. That way it is upfront for every one to see.
 
IPCT-l mail is then instantly recognizable in people's mailers,
showing the list name, rather than an individual's.
