Ron,
I do not believe the new PWG server strips the "From:" line from
the mail header. Is it possible your mail agent or gateway is
munging the mail?
Signatures in mail are a good idea in any case. Many mail systems
mangle return addresses. For example, a simple "reply" to the
rbergma%miami.dnet.dpc.com at gate.dpc.com
"From:" address in the message quoted above would probably not make
it through the dpc gateway machine.
