I agree; it's even less fun for list admins and postmasters who now have to 
patch stuff up for no conceivable reason just to keep the messages flowing, 
trust me.  The world would be a better place without either Yahoo or AOL, and 
if we could just stop them from posting, our problems would be solved. :)

There is work being done in the relevant groups (and by "Work", I mean catering 
to the damage, because the big guys have already made up their minds) to make 
the behaviour consistent.  The best fix I saw was in LISTSERV(R), which creates 
a per-subscriber alias so behaviour continues to be exactly as it always was.  
Sadly, LISTSERV(R) costs $10,000 plus annual subscription just for the 
"Classic" (i.e. not crippled) version, and I ain't got that kinda money.

If/when you switch to Mail.app, the critical thing is to check all the fields 
before you send.  Each name is an embedded object that reveals the address when 
you click on it, and it can be copied from one field to another.  So regardless 
of the behaviour, you can get replies sent where you need them to go, even if 
it's not the easiest thing in the world to do.

Cheers,
Sabahattin
