Well worth the money in my opinion ;)

It could be that the second list doesn't use a reply-to header. When
that line is missing in the headers, hitting reply goes back to the
sender. It could also be possible that Becky is seeing list headers,
and automatically replying to the list without option. TheBat doesn't
do that, and follows what it is told to do. There are options to work
around that, such as templates that will alter the addresses (I'm sure
others will give better examples than I ever could). Another option is
to hit the "Reply to all" button instead of just reply, and move the
addresses around.

TheBat seems to only respond to certain list headers. Certain list
software puts, in the headers of each mail, details about the list,
and special options, such as unsubscribe, help and such. I don't think
TheBat has a handle on all the list software available, or even close
to it.
