Who is talking about two "Reply-To:" fields ????
There is only one, the one that mailin lists creates or the
original-one that is preserved by the mailing list.
Please read the post carefuly before replying; and if I wasn't
clear enough ask me to clearify it.
I'll write it again:
If I post to the mailing list *without* "Reply-To:" field mailinglist
creates one that points to itself, the "From:" field points to the
original author of the post.
If I post *with* "Reply-To:" field already set, then mailinglist does
*not* add a "Reply-To:" field.
This way it is solved.
If I wasn't subscribed to the mailinglist, I could set the "Reply-To:"
field to my personal mailbox and everyone will be replying to me, not
the mailing list.

You don't set it.. mailing list software sets it.

Mutt is very unintuitive (PINE *is* intuitive), I tried it, didn't
like it. I wish that PINE had as many features as mutt has, tho.
I prefer PINE and PMMail over anything else.
