Hi,

as I understand it, though I might be misunderstanding, there are
various solutions, such as the one where the list itself becomes the
sender of the forwarded message, in the sense of

From: Somebody via foo-users <[email protected]>

But we know that even if the footer/signature is impossible to miss and
unambiguous, many people still overlook it and/or misunderstand it.
