For what its worth, $29 Agent will strip this very nicely (if configured). On
the other hand, Agent doesn't need anything like this to be able to filter
messages from the list into their own folder. (And Agent also lets one reply
to any 'from' header: in this case, From ("James C. Sewell" ),
Sender (tsepro-request@semware.com), or To (tsepro@semware.com).)
In my not so humnle opinion, adding TSE-PRO is adding clutter. Why doesn't 
he
person who's having problems (that causes him to ask everyone attached to the
internet to switch the way they create messages) simply switch to  a decent
Email package? For heaven's sake, Agent is a $29 package, and there are 
thers
that are equally capable!
