I did some thinking; I think proceeding on this path will keep me going round in hoops. I need to find a way to break the spiral after (2). My partial solution for the moment is to use the following after (2) send2-hook . "unmy_hdr From" reverse_name still breaks very subtly (<reply> fails when I want to send to the poster on a mailing list message). I'll experiment some more. Thanks for the help.
