You remembered correctly. Ironically I happened to test that exact
thing yesterday in response to private mail I received. I believe the
determining factor is the way the editor submits the mail to LISTSERV.
That is, if the editor's mail system allow mail to be forwarded with
the original mail headers intact, then you will get the behavior you
want. The "forward" command in Mail/MailBook handles the headers that
way for instance. It adds several "Resent-XXX:" header lines and
leaves the original mail headers alone. If your editor is using a
"reply" command or a "forward" command that rewrites the mail headers,
then the information may not be available to LISTSERV when the note
is submitted for distribution.
