Sorry -- my paragraph was unclear. It is not just one list that has this problem, but any list I create.
Your answer was helpful, however -- if I set this option to yes, then my email address is not added to the header, and everything works as expected.
The odd thing was that even when the source email was from a completely different account (say a yahoo account), my local email address was always added when the message was resent to the list recipients.
Anyway, thanx -- setting first_strip_reply_to to YES seemed to fix things.
Stripping the Reply-To: fixes the immediate problem you were having, but it doesn't fix the underlying problem, and it is a bad idea in general.
It is a bad idea in general because a user may send a post with a Reply-To: which is different than From: and which may be required for that user to receive a reply. For more on this, see for example http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
The underlying problem in your case appears to be that somehow in the processing that delivers mail from your incoming MTA to Mailman, a Reply-To: you header gets added to the message. The real solution is to figure out where and why this is happening and fix it there.
Well, it's official -- I'm an idiot. As it turns out, the second account I was using had the email address in question configured as the Reply-To:. That would pretty much account for what I was seeing. Also, I suppose I didn't expect to see the original Reply-To: added to the Reply-To: generated when reply_to_list was set. I see why this is done (and that this behavior can be changed via first_strip_reply).
Nevermind... and thanx for the help. I'm sure I'll have another stupid question soon.
Cheers -- m
