I believe that, [...] replies to anonymous IDs should, by default, not be double-blinded [...] Perhaps the anon admins could [...] put na#### instead of an#### in the FROM address, and educate their users.
A better method might perhaps be to set the Reply-To field to automatically be the na#### address. This makes it easier for people with smart mailers and doesn't mess around with who the message is actually from... jim
