(Catching up on old mail.  Not sure yet if this has changed.)

My vote:  I don't like it.

If for no other reason, when I see all the messages on the list, they all 
show as being from "FilePro Mailing List" rather than the real sender.  As 
long as you're munging "From:" would it be possible to at least keep the 
name part unchanged?

As in:

     From: "Kenneth Brody" <filepro-list at lists.celestial.com>

Not sure if that's any better, but at least it would show the sender's name 
without having to read every message first.
