I sent out a workaround fix for the Path: problem to the moderators mailing
list a couple of times.  Near as I can tell, however, the only mod group
that uses the fix is mod.std.mumps.

Just to avoid doing it again, here is the procedure I use:

		Edit the headers, leaving only
			Date:
			From:	(canonicalize the address)
			Subject:

		copy From: to Reply-To:
		Put From: into % format

		ADD:
			Volume-Issue: 2.n

The crucial point is the % format of the From: line.  Smart news readers
will use the Reply-To: field, which is in canonical form.  The Path: is
created from the From: line.  By keeping this field in % format, the Path:
is not messed up anywhere, and dumb mailers will reply along the Path: which
will eventually send the mail to mysite!sender%sendersite, which will be
properly routed from mysite.
