I assume by "To" you mean "From". We don't munge "To" in this
situation (there is a personalized list configuration where To is
changed from the list to
This is exactly the problem I mentioned a few weeks earlier that did not
elicit much of a response. I asked for some way to change the "via"

Hi Stephen,
Thank you a bunch for looking into this.
I was trying to say that ReplyTo: works fine, for just the reasons you mention.
