I realized about an hour after I sent the message that personalization doesn't affect this. But I didn't know that anonymous_list added the description. >>It seems like defaulting to 'No' for personalization starts out ok. >>Then I change it to 'Yes' and it makes the From field: >>"list description" <em...@address.blah> >> >>I want just: >><em...@address.blah> >> >>When I change Personalization back to 'No', the effect stays the same. >>Now I'm unable to get rid of this From field rewrite unless I make a new >>list. >I don't understand the interactions you discribe unless you are also >making other changes.
