How to clean up the mess in From: line from maillist

How to clean up the mess in From: line from maillist

[hput via Announcements and discussions for GNUS, the GNU Emacs Usenet newsreader (in English)]

My messages seem to carry a bunch of guff into this group from the
maillist.

All the guff in my From: line:

From: hput via "Announcements and discussions for GNUS, the GNU Emacs Usenet newsreader (in
 English)" <info-gnus-english@gnu.org>

Thats enough bull puckey to sink a smallish battleship.

I used to know how to trim stuff fromm a from line but forgot it many
years ago.

What can I so that all but the actual address of that maillist is
gone?

You can thank spammers for that.

Many mailing lists do From: rewriting these days when the From:-domain
has DMARC set up, because otherwise emails sent out by the mailing list
fail SPF.

This can be avoided by adding a DKIM header, which can be non-trivial¹ -
e.g. you need control of DNS of the domain in your From:-address.

The munged From:-line is what the mailing list sends out - so all you
can achieve is that it looks different on your screen.
