You only need 1, but he must be well known. > b) The supporter becomes more involved in the communication than he > wants to: He appears as the sender and may receive answers (even > bounces and autoresponders). Well, then the sender must be somebody that usually sends important messages to students. One more message won't trouble him. > c) The real sender does not have the mail in his sent mail archive > thus breaking the usual communication structure.

Mmmm... you would have the message sent to the supporter, and if he forwards it with copy to you, maybe... or maybe not, not sure about what is the problem. > d) The same for the recipients: They cannot simply search for a > mail from the real sender. But the message should include your email address... again, I don't get what is the problem. > e) The supporter must handle the recipients in that case.

Well, then he should involve the person that has the addresses, probably the person that uses to send important messages to students. Remember, no matter how many signatures the message has, if it doesn't come from a know source, they may consider it as spam and delete it without even opening it. You need the sender to be well know and respected. Yes, it would be nice to have a tool that allows you to attack a signal from other people to make the message more appealing, but then the email clients would have to support it, and now more and more people moves to webmail, that is becoming harder.
