Brian, I'm using latest Thunderbird on mac, and in the From column, for 
me the forum messages are showing as "[name] via Filepro-list" where 
[name] is a name expression, usually a full name.  For instance yours 
shows as "Brian K. White via Filepro-list".  I don't ever remember 
making any setting that would specially accommodate a mailing list.  So 
I'm curious why the difference.  Maybe just mac/windows or a different 
version of TB perhaps?
