Re: Personalization - How do I explicitlydisableSender field rewrite

I just upgraded to 2.1.9 and it seems that Personalization now re-writes
the "Sender" or "From" field on all recipients' emails to use the
'description' of the list. I've been unsuccessful in disabling this
unless I delete the description field, but then there would be no
description on the listinfo page. Is there a quick entry I can put into
mm_cfg.py or modify on one of the other files to disable the Sender/From
rewrite?

This should have nothing to do with personalization. This is controlled
by General Options -> anonymous_list.

It seems like defaulting to 'No' for personalization starts out ok.
Then I change it to 'Yes' and it makes the From field:
"list description" <email (AT) address (DOT) blah

I want just:
email (AT) address (DOT) blah

When I change Personalization back to 'No', the effect stays the same.
Now I'm unable to get rid of this From field rewrite unless I make a new
list.

I don't understand the interactions you discribe unless you are also
making other changes.

We want Personalization in order to use some variables in the footer,
and of course to remedy some external user spam filtering issues.
But we don't want the Sender/From field to contain the list's
description.

Rewriting of the From: header is controlled only by anonymous_list. If
anonymous_list is Yes, the From: is rewritten to "Description <list
posting address>"; if No, the From: is not rewritten at all.

personalize = Yes does not rewrite message headers. It only expands the
replacements available for msg_header and msg_footer.

personalize = Full Personalization rewrites only the To: to the "real
name <address>" of the recipient.
