At the University of Illinois at Chicago, we are establishing a number
of moderated history-related Listserv groups in which the editors are
scattered throughout the U.S., and working on a variety of platforms.
 
Only the editors using VM/CMS and Rice Mail have been successful at
distributing messages with the "From" field showing the message
contributor's name.  From the other systems, the moderator's name is
shown in the "To" and "From" fields, and the editors have had to
manually enter the contributor's name and e-mail address into the body
of the message.
 
Is anyone aware of any solutions to this problem?  Also, what problems
are likely to pop up from continuing the compromise of adding the
contributors' names and addresses manually -- e.g. making the Digest
less usable, searching logs, etc.
