The problem isn't one of not checking, it's one of *wanting* to reply to only
the sender, and not being able to without great effort.
For example, with this list, regardless of whether I choose Reply-All, or
Reply, I always end up getting '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' placed in the To: field.
I must now go back into the original e-mail to look in the headers for the
original senders e-mail address and cut'n'paste it into the To: field
manually. This is a pain, and *should* be automatic. I shouln't *have*
to manually place it.
As a result, I end up sending things to the list that really should be sent
back to just the original user. Partly because I'm lazy and it's too much
work to get the users address, and partly because I forget that the Reply-to:
field is (IMO) incorrectly set by the list.
I don't *want* to disregard the Reply-to: addresses in my e-mail, because 90%
of the time I want to use it. This list is the other 10%.
