Which headers? Are you talking about person A's address showing up as the From address of person B's emails? Or some other header?
Yes, person A's (that is, Gene's) address shows up in the headers of somebody else altogether. When person B sends me an email (not a reply), I also get Gene's address in the headers.
Yes, but *which* header?
There is a huge difference between:
"Person B sends me a fresh email, but the From address says Gene"
and
"Person B replies to my email, and when I use Show Headers, I see that one of the In-Reply-To or Reference headers says Gene."
These are very different symptoms with probably very different causes and fixes.
It is listed after References:

Then there follows from:
From: person B some_email@gmail.com Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2021 12:15:57 +0700 Message-ID:> >
You will note that I cut out person B's details. This is from the original email that got my attention, sent to me by person B (not a member of the list). Since then I have got some others, both from person B and when I send to and receive from the list.
I think the In-Reply-To: and References: are two different critters. The In-Reply-to: is legit, but the References: seems to, as Bill noted, refer to our resubscribe date. I haven't a clue what or why that might be worth including in a reply-to-list/all. Boggles my getting tinier mind. Maybe I should up the B1 in my weekly pill-tainer? :)
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
The fact that both Gene and I resubscribed on that date seems significant, though I don't see how it can relate to person B.
However ... sigh ... it occurs to me that person B has lived in several places, but is originally from India. And the TDE mailing has been getting spammed now and then by somebody that seems to be from India. Again, I am quite sure that she has better things to do, but maybe somebody linked her emails to me, and my emails to the TDE list?
