So for 'message' subscribers the From: should be rewritten from the
poster to the common name?

I would use a custom handler rather than CookHeaders, but neither will
take care of the digests. Digests would require mods to
Mailman.Handlers.ToDigest.send_i18n_digests(). The mods could be simple
where mlist.GetRequestEmail() in
mimemsg['From'] = mlist.GetRequestEmail()
and
rfc1153msg['From'] = mlist.GetRequestEmail()
is replaced by get_munged_from(mlist) where get_munged_from is something
imported from your custom handler, both in the interest of making the
change to ToDigest.py as small as possible and DRY.

They wouldn't be affected as they aren't processed through the handler
pipeline.

The handler could set the 'envsender' attribute in the message metadata
to the original LISTNAME-bounces address, but this isn't necessary
because the default comes from a list method and isn't affected by headers.

I don't see this as an issue as long as the From: munging Handler comes
after Moderate (and maybe Hold for admindb From: display) in the pipeline.

A custom Handler doesn't have this issue.

Custom handlers can be enabled on a list by list basis.
See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9> on custom handlers.
