From munging to show user via listname
Greetings,
I dug through the archive but couldn't quite find the answer to this question. I have a couple e-mail lists I manage, I thought I had them set up identically but I'm stuck getting the From address to appear the way I want it. One list's messages comes through as:
From: <user> via <list>
This is what I want. The other is:
From: <list>
Which is not what I'm looking for. Other than that, everything works as desired. Thanks for any clues.

Is this list set anonymous_list Yes? if not, are both lists on the same Mailman server?

Both lists are on the same host, same domain, and both have anonymous_list set to "No".
I forgot to mention, I'm on Mailman version 2.1.18-1.

Assuming the original From: address was not already the list, I can't see why the second list should not have 'From: Posters Name via listname <list address>'. Even if there is no poster's name because From: is just user@example.com and the user has no real name configured in the list or is not a member, the From: should be 'user--- via listname <list address>'.
If you have command line access, you could try running 'bin/config_list -o fname listname' on both lists and diff the results.

Never mind, I found it - it's a display issue. Argh. Thanks for the help, I was going a bit bonkers. FWIW, I did find a fix to something else I was looking to take care of while I've been reading the screens.
