Dear Allwyn,
Thank you for the suggestion. We've set the reply-to to go back to the list because it facilitates discussion on Goanet. We ask that members please pay attention where the post is going.
Goanet is now moderated. We try as much as possible to channel personal emails to the appropriate recipients.
I wouldn't call Helga's post below embarrassing :)
Regards,
- Herman

Can goanet-admin consider unsetting the reply-to field in messages posted to goanet? This is a tricky field, which can catch someone by surprise. The user thinks s/he's replying only to sender, but the reply is sent to the whole group because of the presence of this field in the message header. I have seen people post embarassing stuff, including personal details, because they thought they were replying only to sender, who they perhaps knew personally, but the message went to a whole group. Consider for example (which does not contain embarassing personal details, but I think was perhaps meant as a reply only to sender):
