The messages I have archived don't *have* a Reply-To: header.

They have:

   From: "subscriber's-real-name"  <[email protected]>

and

   Sender: [email protected]
   Errors-To: [email protected]

   To: [email protected]

Note that last one: Not To: you.  So it's probably the configuration of
your software that is replying to the address in the From: header.

My mailer (GNU-Emacs) replies to both the From: address and the To:
address (iff the latter is *not* my own address.)  In the case of
replying to FutureWork or similar lists, I manually delete the
personal address of the individual sender from the outgoing
To: field.

Possibly the list manager could *add* a Reply-To: header to simplify
this for both of us.  But it would still depend on whether or not the
configuration of your mailer software honored the Reply-To: header.

PS: M.Blackmore: Would it be acceptable, despite my Left-pondian
status, for me to subscribe to the Oxlug list and ask for help? I
have a Linux problem that so far has proved too gnarly for me and same
(or at least uninteresting) for those to whom I occasionally turn for
advice. And you seem to have a couple of Wizards in the LUG.
