Ah, now I know what you meant by alias. I'd quite forgotten the bit about the owner/mod's Display Name being sent out with the +owner address option. That only happens with New Topic, it turns out, not with Send Message.

A work-around would be to blank your Display Name, or change it to "Moderator". But of course that would affect your normal New Topics and Replies if sent via the web site.

That one of the two points almost seems more like a bug report than a suggestion, but perhaps some group owners want it that way. But if that's the case - if it is a deliberate design choice - then the Display Name should also be showing in the drop-list item for the +owner address is selected. Sending something different than what was shown is clearly a bug.

As a suggestion perhaps one might ask that both versions be available in the list: with the Display Name from your profile, or with your Role (or maybe with literal "Moderator" regardless of your Role, to keep it generic).
