Some of us have mail systems that distinguish between the mailing list,
the mail's author, and other conceptually distinct entities involved
in the posting's origins.  In such systems, knowing the mail comes
from a particular individual IN ADDITION to knowing it is forwarded by
a particular list is very useful.  Whatever solution is found for
Doug's problem ought not take away the additional functionality enjoyed
by those of us with more capable mail processing software.
