Return-path won't show up in lih / lig as it is rewritten by mailman (the
listserver software) to implement VERP (variable return paths, for bounce
processing)

Yup - the envelope from is set to from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - see the from=
parameter above.

Not in my experience - this is sent using kmail 1.3 (comes default with kde
2.2) - switching identities from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
and mailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] in both cases.

Mail is being routed through my webhost so you see the smtp handoff to
vpop1.superb.net in both cases.
