Ah, apparently I did not look far down enough in that section of the
manual (6.3.80 btw in my version) when I read it :)
Using %{ } instead gives the behavior I wanted (as seen in my
attribution below :)
Also, in my original mail I had included the envelope From header,
but it was missing in the mail delivered to the list? This is probably
some safeguard to prevent breaking mboxes (since it is used as
delimiter), but it would be better if the line was escaped than
silently removed.
Thanks,
Stefan
