The list follows RFC 2822. The Reply-To header is intended to be created by the originator of the message. List software that overwrites the Reply-To header destroys the function it's intended for. There's an excellent essay on this at: http://woozle.org/~neale/papers/reply-to-still-harmful Mailman implements RFC 2369, which is intended to address this issue. If you want replies to go to the list, I suggest that you use a mail client that follows RFC 2369. If you choose to use old software that doesn't recognize the List-Post header, please don't complain about software that follows RFC standards. -rex ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
