What's the standard: If redirecting, does the X-Sender have to stay
intact? RFC#? In that case, Outlook is non-standard and this problem
is not a TB problem. Otherwise, if - as Syafril wished - the X-Sender
can be changed, there is no point in knowing.

Which I haven't experienced once since using email. ;-)

Hmmm; I will try what Outlook does with this and let know know.

I do *not* want anonymity, as this would be sending msgs under false
pretense (while I am the one sending/redirecting it to you, I make you
think the original sender sent it to you - that's anonymity, and
that's not desired).
