Hmmm, I hate replying to my own mails, but if you are reading this
I've solved this one.  DM was of course the right thing, but I was
just editing the header file manually.  I suspect doing it with the m4
stuff would also uncomment out the envelope masquerading line in
ruleset 94 that I needed to change too.  Uncommenting that line and
commenting out another line to turn off header masquerading gives me
the effect I desire.

Cheers,

Neil.
