And some less-sophisticated listservers (one written in Python comes to mind) /strongly/ encourage the list admin to _not_ munge the headers, causing replies to go the original poster, not the list. Go figure.

For a true LISTSERVE discussion group, the problem is either a poster who didn't know what a "Reply-To:" header was used for, and has his mailer fill it in with his own address just in case, or a poster who is using one of many brain-dead webmail interfaces that do the same thing automatically (and usually un-overridably).

Usually this happens because the person you're replying to has a "reply to" 
mail header set to their email address, instead of letting it default (to the mailing 
list).
