Category: Pipermail Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Susan Dridi (sdridi) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Reply-To option, Author Name & Archives

Initial Comment: If the option to Reply-To the list is set, and if the "From:" field in the list.mbox file is in the format of "Poster Name" <somebody@example.com> or else Poster Name <somebody@example.com>then Poster Name is displayed as the Author. If the "From:" field is in the format of someone@example.com (AOL does this) then the Author is the list e-mail address. The e-mail address in the archived post is always the list e-mail address.

So, it's often difficult to tell who actually posted something.

Here is the patch, which just rearranges lines that were already in the code:
