Both Majordomo and Mailman strongly recommend leaving the Reply-to field
set to that of the original poster. Here's the relevant section from the
Mailman documentation:
There are many reasons not to introduce or override the Reply-To:
header. One is that some posters depend on their own Reply-To:
settings to convey their valid return address. Another is that
modifying Reply-To: makes it much more difficult to send private
replies. See Reply-To Munging Considered Harmful for a general
discussion of this issue. See Reply-To Munging Considered Useful
for a dissenting opinion.

Please e-mail me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if you feel strongly about the issue,
either way. I prefer the status quo, but if a majority wants it the
other way around, I will change things.
