Ben --

Oddly enough, I've just been asked to do something similar.  In my case, the 
problem is that they want some of these headers changed around and we have 
10-12 lists that sort of relate to each other.

For example, they kind of really want the same FROM: for a group of four lists. 
 At the same time, they want the digest subscribers for those four lists to see 
the FROM as "common_name-dig...@domain.tld".

I've looked into the CookHeaders.py file, and that is certainly the place to 
make any changes BUT there I'm pretty certain that making the changes we're 
talking about will have downstream effects on:

1) automated processing of subscription requests sent via email
2) automated processing of bounces
3) processing of posts  (my lists are announce-only, so less imperative to me)
4) the upgrade process, which would wipe out the changes and would need to be 
re-implemented after upgrades (which means reading the new file and 
re-integrating the changes, not a simple re-insertion of the modified code).

Also, CookHeaders.py is a file used by ALL lists in a given installation and I 
don't think there is any list-by-list way to make changes.

So, if Mark or others with more experience have ideas on how to do this without 
upsetting the apple cart, I'd be happy to hear about them.
