Amy just happened to cut & paste the "prettified" headers that Pegasus Mail's message reader presents to the user. In the underlying actual message, "Forwarded by:" is actually "Resent-From:" and so on. There's no such thing as > "Forwarded by:", for example; and none have a space in them.

Yes, it looks like an unmoderated list exposes the "final" sender, as opposed to the original sender, of a message by placing the original From: line in a Comment:. Looking over the list owner manual, I'm not sure if there are any list keywords that will allow LISTSERV to use the original sender information.
