The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[John Kirkland <address@concealed>]

After upgrading to 6.2 from 6.1, I'm seeing that auth messages are going out FROM the list owner instead of FROM SYMPA.  The net effect is that when the recipient of the message replies, their reply goes to the list owner instead of being processed by SYMPA, which causes the subscription confirmation to not be processed.

I tracked it down to a change in sympa/default/mail_tt2/request_auth.tt2 where the FROM entry was removed.  This change was made in the check-in below:

[feature] Display name in From: header field of message sent by sympa will be encoded properly.
- "email_gecos" parameter during alpha releases was renamed to "gecos".
- Encodes display name (taken from gecos parameters) using tools::addrrencode().

Note: MIME::EncWords >= 1.012 & MIME::Charset >= 1.008.2 are required to use 'DISPNAME' feature by current MIME::EncWords.

Is the new behavior of no longer sending as the SYMPA user intentional?
