We're looking for a real life answer, not a perfect world one.

If Outlook is inappropriately munging the "Sender:" and "From:" headers together, then your only option may be to change the Mailman source code so that it does not use that field. Of course, Mailman is using that field in the RFC-approved manner, as do many, many other programs in this world.


I can't imagine that Mailman would be the only offender that your corporate people would complain about, and once you "fix" Mailman, what do you tell them about all the other bazillion places on the Internet that do the same thing? If you fix this one thing, they're going to expect you to fix everything else, too.


Perhaps a better option would be to see if there is a way to modify Outlook so that it doesn't do this kind of stupidity, or to use the built-in scripting features to change this header to something else.
