I wanted to say this myself, but refrained because I'm not making
much use of PC-based mail programs, and so have never actually
done it with one of them.

But I've done it with the old VM mail forward function, which used
"Resent-" fields, and with Pine's "bounce" function, which once again
uses the same "Resent-" fields, and I've now seen Pegasus generate the
very same "Resent-" fields (preserving the original "From:").

I'm not about to inflict on my subscribers the kind of test that would
prove whether this works or not just to counter the "it can't be
done", when I have no reasonable doubts that it in fact can be.

I've never used Eudora, but what you have described generates
basically the same thing.  My experience has been whether it works or
not depends on how the list is configured.

Boy was I glad to see you post this.

Amen.
