Am I answering the right question?..... I use PCEudora running under 
Windoze. My mail shows up with the original posters name, date+time, and 
header. It is an evaluation version (no kidding it even says that!) and 
works great. Replies are posted to the list automatically when sent. So far 
so good, would this help your problems?   tim s.
