Actually, I rather like it, because in my mail client (Thunderbird) it
shows as "From: Classic Computers <cctalk at classiccmp.org>".

But the "Reply To:" header lists both cctalk and the original sender's
address, which any mail client should honour, so all you should need to 
do is remove the cctalk address (Rich will get two copies of this 
because I didn't remove either address).
