Me too.
It's aweful to look at a thread now where all submission are from the "same"
(list) sender. At the first sight on the mail index it isn't possible
anymore to pick answers depending on the sender. This would be necessary
(at least from my point of view) to read such a high volume list in
real-time ... I'm not amused to be forced to peek into each message
just to check out who is the author of it ...

It would be nice if the original sender could be kept in an additional
header line, which may be used to reconstruct the from: line if one has
the skill to do it (e.g.  with a procmail filter, as I would do).
