Couldn't we just have a reply-to address for the list in the header of the email? So all a fella had to do was hit reply, and it would work?
This is how the Apache and the MySQL list works. The PHP list is the only list that I have to manually edit my reply every time. For example, I hit reply all on this message, it is now replying to Daniel, and CC'ing Sam and the php-general.
