I do not understand what you are trying to say.
My point is that using when I post a message to the
list, any message in reply to my message **should
always** go to the list by default. This is not
happening when ever the original post has the
"Reply-To" field set. In this case sympa does not
re-write the field, and when somebody reply thinking
it would go to the list, it really goes to where ever
the original poster had set in the "Reply-To" field.
I do not understand why you are suggesting things
about procmail, etc. which has nothing to do, since
this is not a **client** side problem; it is a list or
server side problem. Actually I don't use a "Reply-To"
field, and the problems arises when I want to reply to
the posts of some other user that does use the field;
and since I can not control how other people configure
their email clients (much less ask them to change
their email client configuration just so the list
works as it "should"), it is clearly evident that it
is a server side problem.
If you have sympa well configured as per it's
documentation, to re-write the field in every case,
then there must be a bug in sympa, or some other
place.
