I suspected (was afraid) that this particular sentence was the heart of the storm. Taken out of context, it does sound definitive.
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. -- "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
