Hi Terry,

Yes, because Mailman added a Reply-To set to the list's address.  But
this meant the typical default action of "reply" in an MUA, to just go
to the originator, instead went to the list and thus "everybody".  It
seems safer to err on the side of not being a public post if someone
replies without checking, and that matches Mailman's recommendation.

Cheers, Ralph.
