It sounds like your mail program is replacing or adding a 'From:'
and 'Subject:' header instead of or above the ones from the
original message.

I know of a mail package that will allow you to do this (at least
up to LISTSERV 1.8c; that's the version running on my lists' host
system). It's called 'vm,' it's written in lisp, and runs from
within an Emacs session. Which means that it will only help you
if you are running on a UNIX platform. Unless some one knows of a
up-to-date version of Emacs that runs on a Windows platform (I'd
be -very- interested if you know of such a version). VM is not
easy for the novice to use.

In vm you have considerable control over the message and its
headers when resending.  This has been my mail program of choice
for more than 6 years. And I have had no problems resending
messages which I have edited to remove HTML markup or attachments
- either messages sent to me directly or messages that need
approval (by the resent method).

FYI: I NEVER edit the content of a message. I just remove
mailer-generated extraneous stuff such as HTML markup attachments
or other attachments. Attachments are against my list's posting
rules.
