The RFC is deficient in presuming anyone knows the meaning of "author".
I really don't care who wrote the content. I only care who sent it to
me. The writer of the content did not send it to me, so I really don't
care what he wants or what his headers included or not. The listserv
sent it to me, so as far as I'm concerned, until a distinction is made
in the RFC for list mail, the listserv is the author, not the content
writer.
