Therefore, the mailing list software should not touch the Reply-to header. As far as I know, this is the only list I have ever subscribed to that does not set a reply-to header to the list address. I'm not saying it is right or wrong, just unique in my experience. The admins don't dictate where replies go: the person replying does whatever they want. True. But to do so the person replying has to decide whatever they want (reply to author or reply to list or reply to both). Also, not all MUAs make it easy to choose between reply to author or reply to list or reply to both. I'm not sure what the conclusion is. I guess the only sensible conclusion is using a decent MUA which gives the replier the choice. Optimizing the mailing list for crappy MUAs is just as wrong as optimizing web pages for crappy browsers. However, I would suggest that it *is* perfectly proper for the admins of any list to set headers that encourage posters (or their email software) to follow the etiquette of that group. In the case of GnuPG-users, that would perhaps be a reply-to header containing both the list address and the senders address. Hmm, I never read anywhere that this would be the etiquette of this group. It's certainly not mentioned on the listinfo page of gnupg-users. Also, most people seem to reply to list only.

Soon, somebody corrected me for not copying them in on my reply to their post as well as sending it to the list. They told me that was the etiquette here. Since my experience at the time supported that statement, I duly set up my reply template to do just that. I can't remember who that was, and probably no longer have a copy of the message. I still often receive copies of replies to my posts directly as well as via the list; sometimes both addresses are in the to field, but more often one or other is a cc.
