Your message showed up as being "from" you, and not "on behalf of" you.
Then again, I do not use a Microsoft email client.  I think what you
really want to get rid of, is the "on behalf of" piece, right?

Line 749 of an unpatched "resend" script is where majordomo inserts the
Sender: owner-listname@your.domain
into the headers of the outgoing messages.

748:    # add new header fields
749:    print OUT "Sender: $sender\n";
750:    if (defined($opt_p)) {
751:        print OUT "Precedence: $opt_p\n";
752:    }

See the way the Precedence: header is wrapped in an "if" statement?
This could be done for the Sender: header too.

748:    # add new header fields
749:    if (defined($opt_f)) {
750:        print OUT "Sender: $sender\n";
751:    }
752:    if (defined($opt_p)) {
753:        print OUT "Precedence: $opt_p\n";
754:    }

The result of this change would mean you have to leave the "sender ="
in the .config file for your list blank.  The other scripts that depend
on this value would use the default of listname-request, but the resend
script would only add the Sender: header if that variable contained a
value.  Sorry, I also made an assumption in my previous sentence.  I am
assUming that "-f sender" is not used in the alias for the list either.

Finally, you could take a really easy way out, and just comment out
line 749 of the resend script.

748:    # add new header fields
749:    # print OUT "Sender: $sender\n";
