Public bug reported:

FEATURE REQUEST: 
A setting to configure the new "From" line. Instead of 
FROM: Author_Name via ListName <[email protected]>

I want to request that MailMan let the list admin config the text after the 
author's name in the FROM line. I would use this setting to say:
FROM: Author_Name via Club Name <[email protected]>   
* substituted test string "Club Name" for "List Name"
* substituted explicit reply_to_address instead of list address. 

More details:

My email lists are served from a sub-domain that I don't use for
anything except lists. lists.example.com That is a given, not my option.

I have things figured out as well as can be for my situation. 
The settings we are going to use are:
  reply_goes_to_list = Explicit address
  reply_to_address = [email protected]  (as opposed to 
[email protected] )
  from_is_list  = Mung From
  first_strip_reply_to  = Yes

The only difference is from_is_list = Mung From. The other settings are
the same as before DEMARC.

Differences before & After DEMARC
BEFORE:
FROM: Author_Name <[email protected]>
TO: ListName <[email protected]>
REPLY-TO: ListName <[email protected]>

We liked it like that. Everything was fine.

AFTER DEMARC, using the best settings for us that we can (Mailman
2.1.17) :

FROM: Author_Name via ListName <[email protected]>
TO: ListName <[email protected]>
REPLY-TO: ListName <[email protected]>

This is *pretty good* except that 
* I don't like the "via list name" in the from header, even though I understand 
that is the new reality. 
* I don't like the lack of an author email address. 

I also tried: 
first_strip_reply_to  = No
But that means a normal reply will go to both the list & the author. So the 
author will get 2 copies, and I don't feel that is desirable, even though it 
seems to be the only way to include the author's email address. 

FEATURE REQUEST: 
A setting to control the new "From" line. Instead of FROM: Author_Name via 
ListName <[email protected]>
I want to request that it offer the option to let the list admin config what 
goes there after the author's name. I would use this setting to say:
FROM: Author_Name via Club Name <[email protected]>   
 substituted "Club Name" for "List Name", and used 
 explicit reply_to_address instead of list address. 

Thanks,
