Thanks again for adding this option to the code.

I was working again on my anonymous list and something came on my
mind: Wouldn't it be better, if Sympa repaces in anonymous mode the
header completely with necessary fields like "From" and "To" and
fields which are named by an (sort of) "use_anonymous_header_fields"
option?

Reason: The owner of an anonymous list wouldn't have to be afraid of
the fact that someone's e-mail client could send a header field which
could identify the author and is not in the "anonymous_header_fields"
list.
