Nonsense, all clients understand reply-to if it's there and that is the obligation of the sender which in this case is the list server not my client.
Please read the archives.
There's several thousand emails in there, give me a subject or something. I already attempted to do that but the search only takes 2 words, it looks like and chances I use the relevant ones are low, just spent some time without any relevant success.
The list is not the originator/sender of any particular message and hence should not be the subject of any reply or reply-to. Therefore it follows that it is not the list's responsibility to set a reply-to header pointing to itself.
So what you're saying is that all the lists i've been on in the past 7-8 years were doing it wrong but this one doesn't. The list is not the originator of my message but an inteligent list server knows that the vast majority of the clients want to reply to the list not the originator of the message.
It is the mail client's job (or the list subscriber to be more precise) to direct a reply to the appropriate place and not the list's responsibility to second-guess where a reply should be directed.
So what do I do if I have one account only? Should I keep changing the Reply-To for each email I send so that replies to other unrelated mail don't end up on php list? The list should second-guess members of the list want to reply to the list 99% of the time without being wrong.
