Subject: MS-Mail loses original sender

We have a rather heterogeneous environment with various UNIX, Mac, and
Windows NT systems on the same network. In this chaos we run several
lists managed by Majordomo. All is well on the UNIX and Mac systems,
but the Windows NT MS-Mail users complain that mail from the mj lists
always shows up as being from the list owner, i.e. owner-somelist.
Displaying, saving, and replying to list mail all show the From: header
with owner-list. I can't find any options in MS-Mail (haven't gotten
into the gateway server on DOS yet) that fixes this.

On UNIX only the "From " (envelope) and Sender: headers show the list
owner and the From: header shows the original sender. Replies on UNIX go
to the original sender, as expected.

Please tell me what I need to do to MS-Mail to make it behave.
