Um, let me be more clear. If I want to bounce emails which, say, have
a high proportion of high-bit characters (guess why:-), I want them to
go to the From: address (i.e. the original sender), not the list
administrator. I think that's a good thing, since I want to apply the
clue-by-four to the sender, and not the list admin.

And formail looks at the From: address nicely, just the way I like it
:-)
