Hi,

Normally when a person replies to a mail sent by the mailing list, the
original author is in the To field, the mailing list is in the Cc
list, and the remainder of the Cc list is kept intact.

However, this mailing list munges the Reply-To header, which accustoms
people (wrongly) to hit "reply to sender" instead of "reply to all".
This brings many disadvantages like:
 1) Personal level indicators don't work
 2) Searches by recipient don't work (to:me)
 3) The Cc list is not kept properly (which hurts cross-posting)

Many mailing lists such as LKML (and all vger.kernel.org), maemo-user
(and others), don't do any Reply-To munging and they work just fine.

So I propose to do the same.

For a more detailed analysis of the issues with Reply-To munging, see:

Cheers.
