The From: header doesn't make that much of a difference for me. But if you were
to ask me then I'd strongly recommend for putting a "Reply to:" header in the
mail. The "Reply to:" header should obviously point to the comp-fort...
(jiscmail) address. Otherwise one needs to manually remove one address (like I
had to remove Phillip's address just now); as the mail sent to the list will
reach him, obviously! And I don't believe in sending the same thing to somebody
twice. I guess that including a "Reply to:" header shouldn't be too difficult
to incorporate. It facilitates both the sender and the recipient.
