Sometimes you just have to hang your head and laugh....
Although the article does not explain what went wrong (just that he
tried to send a reply) I'd guess that the original message was sent
with the FROM (or SENDER) set to the list address not to a List
Administrator address. Thus any reply would go to the list for
echoing to all the subscribers. In addition, the list would seem to
be of an Announce-Only type where only the Administrator should be
able to submit but seems to allow anyone to submit (a bad idea for
that type of list given its purpose).
