Changes to use-livecode list.

I know Heather has just made some changes to try to solve the 'bounce' 
problem. But I think in doing so a new problem has arisen.

It used to be that email from the list showed up as
    'from' : someuser at theiraddress.com
    'reply-to' : use-livecode at lists.runrev.com

They now show up as
    'from' : How to use Livecode <use-livecode at lists.runrev.com>
    'cc' : someuser at theiraddress.com

which is (for me at least) much less convenient.
Previously I could sit there in my email client, and immediately see who 
had sent each email on the list, so it was very easy to look back to 
remind myself what an individual had said - indeed it was even easy to 
search for their emails using the "Find" feature.

Now that's impossible - all emails in the thread appear from the same 
address, and need to be individually opened to see who they were from, 
and so searching for a reply that I remember ws from (say) Richard is 
much harder.

Unless there a real advantage that I can't think of, or a need, for this 
change, could I please plead with Heather to reverse that particular change.

Thanks
Alex.
