If you set a mailing list to munge Reply-To, you pretty much give up any

Specious argument that's been beat to death on nearly every technical list on
the internet. If you check the headers I sent this message to the list and to
you privately. The mailing list didn't take any choice away, I simply had to
be smarter than the email. Funny this discussion never comes up on my bicycle
list, or my family list, or any number of other lists I subscribe to that are
not computer technology related.
Ahh, but you didn't send it to me privately. You sent it to my from
address, which is a special address that I'm subscribed to this list as. I
might have a Reply-To that I wanted people to use, but you would never know
that.
Funny though, I think this mailing list is the closest I've ever seen to
this thread being on topic. BTW, it has come up on numerous non-technical
lists as well, usually after someone posts a private reply to the entire
list without realizing it.
