The very much worth reading RFC 9057 of Dave Crocker defines an
Author: field which can at least be used to fixate the original
From: (or Sender:).  It is (hmm,well) a shame that those who do
invent and push things that brake things, at least, do not use it.

Maybe:

* Mung the From: as we do now (we can perhaps do this selectively based on the DMARC policy of the sender instead of doing it across the board?)

* Add an Author: header reflecting the original From: header (if one does not already exist).

* Add an Original-From: header reflecting the original From:. This is also supported by some MUAs.

* Don't add a Reply-To:. I actually question if this is really needed as we likely want replies to go to the list the vast majority of time anyways. I have seen other lists explicitly exclude this step and it works well.
