You mean the reply-to that gets put into the mailing list headers also
gets propagated to the newsgroup when passing through the gateway?

I'm not so sure this is going to be a good policy for those who subscribe
to wine-users (instead of reading the newsgroup). Posters aren't going to
expect getting both a mail and a post when wine-users people reply (the
way wine-devel works now). By the way, I read wine-users instead of the
newsgroup myself now...
Maybe it's possible to make the newsgroup gateway strip reply-to headers,
though. Hmm...

If it's in the wine-users archives, it was propagated to the list. And I
did see your replies (by mail) when they were posted, I think.
