Here are the critical headers from your (Chunk) email:
List-Post: <mailto:cctalk@classiccmp.org>
From: Chuck Guzis via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org>
Reply-To: Chuck Guzis <ccl...@----.com>,
"General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts"
<cctalk@classiccmp.org>
Errors-To: cctalk-boun...@classiccmp.org
Sender: "cctalk" <cctalk-boun...@classiccmp.org>
The from address is cct...@classiccomp.org. The reply-to addresses
contains your (Chuck) email address (blanked out) in addition to the cctalk
address. An email will use the reply-to address, but I could see an email
client using the list-post address when replying (since that informs the
email client that this email from a mailing list).
So here we have From: munging (that's a twist!) and Reply-To: munging but
by adding an address instead of outright replacement (intresting solution to
munging [1][2]). So when you (not Chuck) hit reply, it goes to your (Chuck)
email address and cctalk.
