Well, I found out that YES seems to be a perfect solution for this problem.
Except for the fact that Yarn always removes any From: lines and replaces
it with its own.
Perhaps Chin should reconsider this feature? Or make it optional in the
CONFIG file? I read in the CHANGES file that this feature was added in
version 0.65. But at that time spam wasn't that much of a problem as it
is today.
BTW, in the meantime I have disabled this feature on my own copy of Yarn,
and together with Yes everything now works exactly as I wanted.
