AS> Great, so all we'd have TB make do is add the Resent-To line and make it AS> feed the whole mail to the smtp server. Actually the Resent-headers aren't important for the delivery of the message. You're misinterpreting their function. Your clients offers a message (never mind the headers) via smtp to a server, during this offering the message is encased in an smtp-envelope that says I've got a message from Roelof to Andy (I'm taking this message as an example), the server doesn't check the lines in the message itself as they're only seen as data. That's the reason why messages on mailing lists arrive at all subscribers, without creating messages for every individual subscriber. Your problem is that TB alters the headers of redirected messages, that's a choice of the developers. Actually TB takes the body of the message (including attachments) and creates a new message with the same contents and original From header. The new sender is indicated by the X-Sender header, I would have preferred the Sender header, because that's more general accepted, but you can't have all of your wishes. In my view your wishes are more something for a server than a client, but who am I. ;-) Currently the only way to show the original date and route of the message is to forward it, with including all original headers. With TB it is possible to keep the original Reply-TO intact, so the rest would be merely cosmetics. AS> Do you see anyway to do that? Not currently with TB. AS> If not how and where could I make such a feature request?
