[Alpine-info] Question for List Administrator

[Milt Epstein via Alpine-info]

I can't speak to the whys and wherefores of why this change was made
(or even whether it's a good or bad thing, without hearing the various
arguments pro/con), but I'll just say that the email addresses of the
posters is still available, in the Reply-To: headers.  (And this
change looks like it was made a few months ago.)
