Yikes. This is making it much harder to read what comes from who what with "via Digitalmars-d" tacked onto the end of everyone's name. Bleh. The guys at Yahoo are definitely making life harder for the rest of us.

It also has the interesting side-effect of masking the email address of the sender, which may or may not be a good thing. It's a bummer that subscribers no longer have the option of sending a private email to another subscriber, though, since now you don't know the email address of that person (unless you knew it beforehand).

Is it possible to configure mailman to add a custom header for that?
(X-Original-Sender maybe?)

Also, it's broken for some emails. For example this dforum post by Ola: http://forum.dlang.org/post/twzyvsbjphimphihbsnl@forum.dlang.org

In gmail it's displayed as coming from " via Digitalmars-d <digitalmars-d@puremagic.com> " (literally begins with "via").
