Who or what is the originator? If you mean the moderator, then the
problem lies in your mailer or your moderators file, not in the
software. If you mean the person who sent the file to the moderator,
and the file is not digested (as mod.sources is done), the news software
cannot tell which From: line to use. Perhaps if mod.sources was put
into a pseudo-digest format, this problem would be avoided.
