And it seems this is not the only problem, I had a little closer look, and
the following was found in the header:

(w/pine:)

Received: from foo ([1.2.3.4] ident=th)
        by foo.nextra.com with esmtp (Exim 2.05 #3)
        id 12ora2-0001As-00
        for ic at lollipop; Mon, 8 May 2000 19:44:30 +0200

And/or

(w/mutt:)

Received: from th by foo.nextra.com with local (Exim 2.05 #3)
        id 12orbR-0004m5-00
        for ic at lollippop; Mon, 8 May 2000 19:45:57 +0200


Any chance of a patch to just remove such lines?

I also found that, regarding the information below, other people on the list
did not receive the ">From username" line. It seemed only the sender got it.
