How many times does it take? 1) the mailman interface (used for this list) strongly discourages altering reply-to like it's being done right now. 2) we got hit by one of the problems, validating the mailman warning Isn't the above enough?

No, see above: you just need to learn to answer properly. You use answer to all to answer to a list. > Easy mail handling for the users: select on reply address, automatically > reply to the list. Answer to all is just as easy as answer to the sender. You just have to change your habits. Trust me, these arguments have been back and forth on other lists many times already. Please, before anyone continues to argue, go read: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=6693&group_id=1 > Then there are the spam-block-mail-addresses.

You use reply to all which replies to the list and the author of the question. With this version of mailman it means the sender may get two copies of the answer, but there are some ways to solve this minor inconvenience (see the URL above) and a mailman upgrade can take care of that too.
