I just looked at the header of your message as it came to me via the list
and it was:

  From: mcd at is-sixsigmadotcom (John J. McDonough)

Even if the list server is editing the FROM line, they all still ultimately
appear the same way.  I'm assuming the archiver recieves its message from
the list server like everyone else does.  I'm also using Outlook Express
like many other people and not doing anything special that I know of.

I just went and looked around in the archives again.  There was a message
where you replied to Russell which also quoted the FROM line.  It was:

  From: "Russell McMahon" <apptech at paradisedotnetdotnz>

and your message just now replying to me quoted my FROM address as:

  From: "Olin Lathrop" <olin_piclist at embedincdotcom>

So something still doesn't add up.  Apparently the FROM line gets edited in
one or more places, but the result from my messages has the same syntax as
those from others where the name shows up correctly in the archives.

Again, I'm not complaining because I don't see how it matters, but it is
curious and I'd like to understand it.
