bypassing Originator: field in header

if I add a From: field in the header when posting (to make it anonymous)
like I did now, an Originator: field appears after the message is sent.
even if I put in an Originator: field with something in it, it's changed
once posted
does anyone know how to avoid that field? I'd appreciate this info
thanks.  -justy (code@gnu.ai.mit.edu)  <that's my actual net.address btw
