You know how to see what user agent I use (hint: alpine). And it is fully
capable of editing or changing anything I want.
This is *wrong* and must be corrected (i.e. removed)!
I disagree.
I disagree with your disagreement.
For one thing, that is one of only two places the actual sender's

user agents and not present unless the sending mailsystem happens to
add it).
Yes, and it must not be in the Reply-To: field because in normal cases,
this field is the one used for replying, and I want to reply to the
list, and only to the list. If I want to reply personally, I override the
default and take the From: address instead. That's how it should work.

address?" and defaults to "yes" because the former field has a higher
priority.
A compromise would be to have just the sender's address in the header
field, not with a second recipient cctalk@...

Yes, it is, well, funny... I haven't been able to figure out what the
problem could be. I know that in my case, I've never had any bounce
problem with this list, although the mail gateway and server on my side
are quite picky. BTW over here, legally it is not allowed to reject spam
mails.
