No, but  that is not what  you were asking  for either. You want  to know
what list  the message *came*  from, not where  the reply should  go. The
'Reply-To:'  field  clearly says  where  the  reply  should go,  and  the
'Sender:' field identifies an agent  that forwarded the message on behalf
of the original poster.

The users  are a more serious  concern than the software.  It's harder to
change people than computers.
