This is good to know! List hosting clients of FMP predominantly use
gmail or MSOE, and we have a few Mac users.

Yep! I don't think it's supported by mail standards.

Yes, this works.
The other alternative, of course, is for them to un-moderate the list
posters who have the authority to post to their distribution list and
not use a header or pseudo-header at all. None of the lists I host are
high-security lists, nor are they exposed to the degree that they're
likely to be exploited by spammers.
In this particular case, I informed my customer that she had put a
double-space in her pseudo-header and cautioned her to be careful about
this going forward. She's been operating her list successfully for the
better part of a year, and I really don't want to have her change the
way she works with it. It was hard enough getting her up to speed with
it in the first place.
