I suspect this is because mailing lists that _don't_ have a hard time
keeping traffic up enough for the list to be useful, and thus they die.
Heh. This is one of two lists that I'm on that munge reply-to. The
numerous other lists aggressively defend not setting it.
Just a sampling of messages received on a few lists for October:
mono-devel 628
git 3,382
lkml 12,394
Yes, that's over twelve thousands messages in a single month.
I've not heard many people complain about not getting enough mail :-)
Munging the reply-to says "we're a community here, deal".
Not munging the reply-to says "we've got serious business here, deal".
Seems to summarize which lists munge and which ones don't. I'm just not on
very many lists that do.
