EDTECH looks the way it does because we moderate it directly from an IBM, not from a Unix system or from Eudora. Ricemail (the mail system we use on the IBM generates resent lines, which make the moderated postings come out with an Approved by: line for the Moderator and a From: that shows the original sender. This looks good on our Usenet feed, and makes it easy to identify the real sender when we convert to HTML with Hypermail. But it's expensive, and they want us to move to Eudora or to a Unix system to avoid online costs. We haven't figured out how to generate the resent lines this way. Several people have offered opinions, when I've asked in the past. Usually they suggest using bounce (won't work because we edit every outgoing message to reduce requoted junk, etc.) Or they suggest using some fairly elaborate schemes of copying and pasting. (Too time consuming when you do an average of 30-60 messages a day.) Someone has suggested that the UNIX MH mail handler would enable us to generate the resent lines we need, but I haven't been able to penetrate how it works yet. No one has yet suggested a workable offline possibility. My big hope is that an upgrade to Eudora or another one of the offline mail programs will soon turn out to generate the right information. If someone knows about one that does, please tell us. Otherwise, perhaps some update to Pine, Elm or one of the other mailers will do it, but so far I haven't heard that one does. So until we get another solution we continue to use Ricemail on the IBM, but I hope your message will generate a reply from someone who knows of a new mail system that will structure the outgoing mail in a way that would please Listserv and let the moderated messages still appear to come from the original sender.
