Would we be willing to consider removing the Subject and body munging
instead of changing the From: header? I personally find the From:
header to be useful when searching for mail. Sometimes I can remember
"So-and-so wrote that e-mail a while back" and find it by searching
for them by name. Personally, I'd rather sacrifice the footer and
Subject: [TriLUG] header for searchability. I'm sure not everyone agrees ☺
