"Microsoft Mail: as far from RFC 822 as you can get and still pretend to
care."  Yes, there really is software that is this broken.  Microsoft
Mail will blithely rewrite headers left, right, and center, headers it
should never-ever even consider touching.

JLT> There is no solution to this from within Majordomo.

Yup.  The "solution" is a two-parter.  One: chuck Microsoft Mail.  Two:
install NT Server and Exchange, or set up a real SMTP server.

Won't do any good.  Microsoft has made it clear that there will be no
significant "improvements" made to Microsoft Mail.
