Nahhhhh.  I don't have ezmlm set up to reject mail from
non-subscribers.  [...]

Seriously?  Okie dokie then, this'll be a snap to fix.  Happy day!

I'll disable 'From'-header munging for the lugnet.robotics->lego-robotics
gateway (leaving it in for now on the other ng/ml gateways).  You'll still
be able to see real-life names of people in the 'X-Real-Life-Name' headers,
and any 'Reply-To' headers that people include in their news articles will
be echoed so that the "Reply" and "Reply All" features of e-mailers work as
expected.  'Followup-To' (if set) will still map to 'Reply-To' but will be
additive instead of wiping out other 'Reply-To' headers.

An esoteric note to anyone currently doing subtle mail filtering based on
the 'From' header:  If you need to, you can tell the difference between
messages sent from lego-robotics@crynwr.com and messages sent from
lugnet.robotics@lugnet.com by looking for the 'Mailing-List' and 'Sender'
headers, respectively.  There is also an 'X-Message-Archive' header which
you may find helpful.
