Ok this time I am admittedly missing something very basic.
I'm upgrading to sendmail 8.9.1 running on FreeBSD 3.0 (from um, a
very old version of sendmail running on a very old OS :-). I have
searched the sendmail and majordomo FAQs end-to-end and not found
this question.)
When I use sendmail -f in an alias to set up a list, e.g.:
foo: "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -fowner-foo foo-out"
foo-out: me
owner-foo: me,
Instead of doing what you would normally expect, sendmail prepends a
blank line, pushing the existing headers into the message body, and
generates an entire new set of headers at the top, with the -f value
in the new From: header. Simple example:

Anybody here know how to get 8.9.1 to do the right thing?
