From Munge - Adjustment Options

[Dave Nathanson]

FEATURE REQUEST:
A setting to configure the new "From" line. Instead of
FROM: Author_Name via ListName <email address hidden>

I want to request that MailMan let the list admin config the text after the author's name in the FROM line. I would use this setting to say:
FROM: Author_Name via Club Name <email address hidden>
* substituted test string "Club Name" for "List Name"
* substituted explicit reply_to_address instead of list address.

More details:

My email lists are served from a sub-domain that I don't use for anything except lists. lists.example.com That is a given, not my option.

I have things figured out as well as can be for my situation.
The settings we are going to use are:
  reply_goes_to_list = Explicit address
  reply_to_address = <email address hidden> (as opposed to <email address hidden> )
  from_is_list = Mung From
  first_strip_reply_to = Yes

The only difference is from_is_list = Mung From. The other settings are the same as before DEMARC.

Differences before & After DEMARC
BEFORE:
FROM: Author_Name <email address hidden>
TO: ListName <email address hidden>
REPLY-TO: ListName <email address hidden>

We liked it like that. Everything was fine.

AFTER DEMARC, using the best settings for us that we can (Mailman 2.1.17) :

FROM: Author_Name via ListName <email address hidden>
TO: ListName <email address hidden>
REPLY-TO: ListName <email address hidden>

This is *pretty good* except that
* I don't like the "via list name" in the from header, even though I understand that is the new reality.
* I don't like the lack of an author email address.

I also tried:
first_strip_reply_to = No
But that means a normal reply will go to both the list & the author. So the author will get 2 copies, and I don't feel that is desirable, even though it seems to be the only way to include the author's email address.

FEATURE REQUEST:
A setting to control the new "From" line. Instead of FROM: Author_Name via ListName <email address hidden>
I want to request that it offer the option to let the list admin config what goes there after the author's name. I would use this setting to say:
FROM: Author_Name via Club Name <email address hidden>
 substituted "Club Name" for "List Name", and used
 explicit reply_to_address instead of list address.

Thanks,
