Rob,I plan on going with a more standard behavior of respecting the sender's reply-to. The case for the latter behavior is made here: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
While I agree with the principles noted here, it's worth noting that there is one disadvantage to standard reply-to handling which is not mentioned. That is that most people who hit "reply-to-all" are lazy and don't bother to erase the sender's name. This results in the sender getting two copies of their message (one directly, and one through the list). Once a thread gets long, you can have five or six people getting multiple copies of every message. I'm on lists that work this way, and it's annoying, if not catastrophic.
But I do see the arguments the other way. Either is fine by me. Thanks for keeping the list up and running.

P.S. oops, looks like I sent this to the whole list. ;)
