I noticed that in the last few days, messages such as Gen-ART reviews generated by the tracker have From: fields like "John Doe via Datatracker <noreply@ietf.org>".

This means that Reply won't work at all and Reply All will not include a direct copy to the reviewer (or other message originator).

This change wasn't announced, as far as I know. It's a bug as far as I'm concerned. 

If the reason for this is that some mail systems treat the genuine sender's address as a forgery, OK, but then please generate a Cc: field for the original sender's address, so that at least Reply All will do the right thing.

If that isn't the reason, I believe this change should be reversed.

Regards
   Brian Carpenter
