Here at Project Northstar, our courseware software (Northware) has
enough of a distribution that we are getting mail messages from
different places on different subjects that need to be sorted out and
sent to the appropriate person.  One easy aspect is that all the mail
funnels through our 'source' user id.  We are presently using the
'filter' program that comes with the 'Elm' mailer to redirect the mail
messages to the appropriate person.  The problem is that 'filter' can
only forward, not resend.  (Resending allows us to Reply to the mail
rather than compose a new mail message.)

I know that Flames exists, but I'm not sure that it is what I'm looking
for.  Although some of the staff reads their mail with 'messages', not
all the staff does, so a bulletin board system would fall short there.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.
