Hi, folks, I tried this message last week and haven't heard anything
back. I know one other person is posting on the same topic. I hope that
you knowledgeable people can help out with this. Thanks for any help you
can offer!

Dear friends,
 
I've searched the back messages and followed recent discussion on mailers
that include re-sent from lines - and had some useful correspondence with
Gary Klass, and I've found a bunch of information on which mailers *don't*
work (like Eudora and apparently Pegasus), but not much on which *do*.
 
The Quaker-L list is configured to use a third pseudo-list as the editor
list, so that the administrators simply sign on and off that list and then
bounce incoming mail according to a schedule we've developed for
ourselves. We've found this has a number of advantages - not the least the
incoming queue back up that it provides when one of us (usually me ;( )
crashes and burns mid-shift. The use of the pseudo list also means that
several of us can be *on* and receiving and reviewing incoming mail at
the same time, which has its advantages when the discussion heats up a
bit and we want to easily cross-consult.
 
The use of the pseudo-list does mean that we cannot use the ok cookie
method. If we want to maintain our current use of the pseudo list, we do
need to use bounce functions/or forward functions, whatever...that add
separate resent-from lines...It is *also* important to us that messages
appear with their author in the sender notification of incoming mail to
subscribers rather than appearing as coming from the moderators...
 
So....this is a long way of getting at, which mailers suitable for use with
SLIP accounts connected to Windows environments will allow use of
bounce/redirect/forward command (whichever) with a resent-from line? Two
of our new moderators currently use Eudora as their mailer. Both are
willing, if need be, to download or purchase other software as a mailer
in order to gain the bounce capability....
 
If anyone has a mailer that allows them to bounce in this manner (not
pine or elm, which I understand cannot be loaded on at least one of our
administrator's accounts...) do please let us know...
 
We are *very* grateful for any help you can give us sorting this out....
 
Thanks,
